This Guilty Dagger

Who plotted against the
Throne of Caesar
Do we know of this man
He is a Roman Senator
His name is Brutus
The die is cast
Wine goblets whisper 
Beneath these jealous hands
What price to pay
When innocent blood
Service this guilty dagger

Just goes to show, political backstabbing is NOTHING new! Very well written, Gregory. Blessings. Donna G.
