My+C.J.'s

The bold thing I have decided to do, Will be done for the good of all of Rome. No one man shall gain more than another And they all shall benefit equally. I am doing this selflessly for Rome And know the possible consequences. I am leader of the conspirators And though we are equal, they would follow me, To no less than the ends of the earth and time. Caesar was infected with corruption So toe must be amputated from foot. The purged body will be forever clean And so Rome will remain a republic. As a Brutus, I must take some action, And the only I see appropriate, Is the assassination of Caesar. Rash as it may seem tis necessary. Rome cannot fall to one man in my day. I honor the spirits of ancestors In freeing all descendents from bondage. Rather I try and fail then all just fail. I would give more than my life for my country If only I had more than that to give. Nevertheless I do what all Rome should, So true roman I may be remembered.

The men who believe I can be changed by Their motive of flattery are destined To a fatal end. I am without change; Such humanistic tendencies do not Phase me. Many Romans may see me as Prideful or arrogant, and this as a Lethal weakness. My pride however is Just in that the man I am deserves the Conceited manner I put forth. For Caesar was not born as any common man. He was sent to deliver Roma from Captivity and free the citizens With his power. I speak what I do know In that I am a hope for the people Of this nation. I am tested in vain For truly acknowledgments of my many Strengths and virtues do not touch my spirit Or my mind. I am moved only by my Own judgment and without this Rome would perish. To all predestined enemies of myself I do warn with great sincerity, I am not your status of ruler and Therefore I cannot be beaten. When I Do perish it will be the destiny Of the stars, and of no human man’s doing.
