In the heart of time’s relentless grasp,
Pompeii’s secrets within its clasp,
Unveiling the hidden soul of old,
A story waiting to be told.
With cutting-edge precision, a CT scan’s light,
Pierces through the shroud of night,
Illuminating the haunting past,
Of an ancient city that tragedy cast.
Beneath the layers of ash and stone,
Lies a world once vibrant, now overthrown,
A moment frozen in time’s cruel hold,
A tale of sorrow that’s been retold.
The unsettling revelation it brings,
Echoes of voices lost in the winds,
Faces of the past, now made clear,
Their stories whispered for all to hear.
In the chambers of the earth, a silent cry,
For lives extinguished, without goodbye,
A city frozen in a fateful day,
Where history’s scars will forever stay.
The CT scan’s gaze, a modern eye,
Peering through the veil of a bygone sky,
Revealing insights, both grim and grand,
Of a civilization buried beneath the land.
Each scan, a step into the past,
Unveiling memories that forever last,
The hidden soul of Pompeii laid bare,
A testament to life, to despair.
May this revelation serve as a guide,
To honor those lost in time’s cruel tide,
To remember a city marred by fate,
In the echoes of Pompeii, we contemplate.
