Rome - Neither in a Day

10 March 2006


Love has a way of finding home
but where was death - where was Rome
A place in New York to ponder
neither of Italy to speak

This land of Niagara
a Canandaigua to stand
Like an Ontario in California
or much closer in thought

All toward geography in name
not Michigan neither to contemplate
The capital of being Canaan
an Ottawa to dream

Love has a way of seeking reality
a blindness held from inside
A place of Rachel to live
Nevada and West Virginia
land of hopes in glory past


Rome in New York State, USA, and Canandaigua including Ontario County and the Finger
Lakes Region of New York. Or even Ontario, California, USA. To a place where Ottawa, was
the Canadian capital city established in the Ontario Province of Canada. Lake Ontario and
other Great Lakes of the region on the border of the USA and Canada. For even Rachel was a locality of Nevada and West Virginia States in the United States of America. Such was the
reality behind a name and those origins of truth.

Where in 1861, the city of Turin became the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Most of the Papal States were included in the Kingdom of Italy, proclaimed in 1861, but Rome was
excluded. Rome became the capital of a united Italy after October 1870 following a period of political unrest while the Pope and head of the Catholic foundation, refused to accept the
government's offer of settlement, choosing to style himself a prisoner in the Vatican. The
situation was not resolved until 1929, when sovereignty within Vatican City was granted
as a enclave within Italy, as to be foreign to its own surrounding Italian territory.
