One man can rule over all
Rome, the greatest City of all
The Empire of the World,
Ruled by one man,
Julius Caesar

His passion for power was huge,
His empire, even bigger
But some where not so kind,
Others wished him gone,
And so they plotted,
Plotted a plan,
Plotted his assassination

The day then came,
From returning from one battle,
To be greeted back home,
Before the next great battle arrived,
But he was warned to flee
“Beware the Ides of March”
The Soothsayer said, but he didn’t listen
He continued on his route to the Senate

His wife saw blood, his own blood,
And the faces of enemies bathing in his blood
But even her wise words couldn’t persuade him
He still went to the Senate
Where the murderers were waiting
How much more did he have to endure?
Through the torment of the power struggle,
To please the Mob, or his friend?
Brutus made the choice, his choice,
The choice that changed the Empire
“Et tu Brute”, and Caesar fell

The battle determined all,
The rightful ruler over the Empire
And the traitors fell,
By their own swords

The world is a huge place
But so much can be said and done
Like that day when we wanted cake,
But which one should we have?
We are undecided still

What different does it make to anyone
Whether the water is hot or cold, rich or poor, well or ill,
It’s what makes us unique in this world
The choices we make is what we are
Different to everyone, but all the same

Why must I wait to be served?
Why must I wait to be seated?
Why must I wait to be collected?
Why must I wait to be chosen?
Why must I wait to be next?
Why must I wait to be picked?
Why must I wait anymore?
I need not wait anymore for the final chance
Why must I wait?
I don’t need to wait anymore,
What I want is right here

The heart stopped beating,
Or so my mother said
But what does she know about the dead?

She can’t hear nor see them,
So what does she know?
Only I can hear their cries of woe

But life is still young,
Or so they say,
But for me, it is but one moment away

I can see the stars that shine,
But the clouds draw in,
And so does the end, my time wears thin

It’s over now, its over now,
I can’t feel it anymore,
So now I must go, now I will go through the door.

— The End —
