A warning to the rulers

At the Roman wall
Iceni call
Defences small
No hope at all
Budicca’s ire
Funeral pyre
Flames roaring higher
The Roman’s expire
Conquerors vanity
Witless urbanity
Mother’s insanity
Lead to calamity
Daughters defiled
By soldiers reviled
She fought for each child
Revenge was compiled
Order restored
Both actions deplored
All men in accord
The tales now record
Remember back then
Respect for all men
Don’t do it again
Or it’s not if but WHEN!
