Two proud Roman bridges standing
\nOver a small river commanding
\nBeside a town, forever expanding
\nAs over and under them I walked<\/p>\n
I wonder, in the years to come
\nWill others wonder from where were from
\nThinking our technology old and dumb
\nWill it be the same the language talked?<\/p>\n
By the peoples in both our lands
\nEach of which hold off invading bands
\nThat walked the older bridge that stands
\nThat in time also will<\/p>\n
I wonder for all we have that’s new
\nThat we think our our constructions true
\nWill the walk the newer like the older I do
\nWill it at all be standing still?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
