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 and hordes follow,then
it becomes 2-way with prophets
leaving the city to scream,along
with peddlers & 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.
