From sibyl rock*, Delphi* churns
fire breaths as the world burns
Muppets tap that oracle* spins
or who at Olympia* finally wins
Marble black or sandstone pits
Gladiators pitch to end of wits
Pangaea* floated to many shapes
Flung to mounts, craggy capes
At every Tholos*; columns remain
Python* rots like efforts in vain
Resounding claps in atrial halls
the seat of Pythia* at UN calls
Endless lies at the wailing walls*
Weary haulers trudge bearing palls
Soiled in smirks are dooms untold
Sad the world as fates unfold
Helping hands are cut to shreds
also those just raised for breads
Bodies at sea in loaded weights
As dots have gelled to nation states
Behind Seville suits are wolverines
Fecund they grin to march marines
