Caesar - a Poem
Julius, oh Julius
Returning o'er the Rubicon
Do the laurels lie so heavy
You need your raiments held?
Sing of Rome
Built on hill and filth and brawn
Marbles reaching to the sky
like white arms reaching for heaven.
Conqueror
Selling glory to an empire
No matter what the cost
Trailing slaves and streams of blood.
Does it hurt?
The thorns in your side
Finally piercing the emperor
Deflating your pride at last.
