Longs

"Now that no one buys our votes,
the public has long since cast off its cares;
the people that once bestowed commands, consulships,
legions, and all else, now meddles no more and
longs eagerly for just two things -- bread and circuses."
-- Juvenal [Decimus Junius Juvenalis] (c.55-c.128 AD)
Roman satirical poet c. 100 A.D
