A Spectator Sport ?

Being a Christian's not a spectator sport.
Though not back in the time of old Nero.
Back then Christians were really a sport of a sort
and lions dined well on these heroes.
A discriminating lot not lacking in taste
were fed to the lions with hardly much waste.
And while fiddling around, Nero noticed the ground
was strewn with Christians most bitter.
Then standing most proud announced to the crowd,
"Eureka, the first 'kitty litter".
So he set it to verse.
Nu? Perhaps mine is worse ?
though the Christians weren't very attentive.
Well, I guess that's not fair, they'd
their own cross to bear
and really lacked any incentive.
Still the Christians have thrived
and spread far and wide
through their history they've proven most violent.
Yet the lions have not
their numbers have suffered a lot
and their roar has become increasingly silent.
The Romans are long gone
though their coliseum goes on
an attraction for tourists to view.
Though no bloodletting there
It is most else every where
in lands that the Christians accrue.
Perhaps if Nero'd but fed lions to Christians instead
and..... if they too cheated and lied
and stood religiously for peace,
perhaps killing would cease.
For we know lions can handle their pride
