Barbarians At the Gates

Well,not always. Whores
sneak them in. After a bit,
one says Don't go you hairy
babbler! She was new,from
countryside,not as patriotic
as the other girls. Soon his
brother comes in to buy
weapons. Next,guards fall
asleep& hordes follow,then
it becomes 2-way with prophets
leaving the city to scream,along
with peddlers and medicine men.
Afterwards the gates left wide
always. Most who fled trickle back.
Generations pass & nobody
can tell who anybody was.
If you have a particular nose,
you’re original & noble.
But many ridicule it.
