Many of these were written during my math class; I'm not sure why, but it seemed a scenario conducive to writing. I'd be happy to let anyone use my poetry, as long as they ask and give me credit. Thanks for visiting!

Caesar

The pride of Julius,

a working class hero,

is the pride of Pompey,

a dealer of death.



He's a highborn noble,

a killer of kindred

killed by kindred

in protection of Rome.



Crassus and Pompey

both saw the danger

but neither much cared

so neither was spared.



He reached his goal,

killing five-thousand foreigners

and returned to claim Rome

from popular Pompey.



But with Crassus long gone

he saw nothing wrong

with controlling the whole world

so the senate is his;



but his friends saw what's wrong

and made Caesar be gone.

For his numerous crimes

he was stabbed twenty-three times.
