Draft 4

The Ancient World

By Keaton

Mesopotamia, with two serpentine rushing rivers

And towering ziggurats

Egypt, with flourishing pharaohs

And paramount pyramids fashioned from stone

Israel, with God’s holy law

And the glorious temple of God

Babylon, with the ornate Ishtar Gate

And lush Hanging Gardens

Greece, with countless cunning gods

And astonishing athletes of the Olympics

Rome, with exalted emperors

And its amazing armies

The Ancient World,

Radiant Pyramids, Astonishing Olympians, and

Rome’s Abolishing Armies.
