Premium Member Burying Caesar
Friends, neighbors, countrymen, I come to bury Caesar not to praise him. Of course he was no famous emperor, although he was proud and tough enough to think he was the king of our alley. Poor Caesar, a life cut short by some irresponsible driver squashed him down in the middle of the street and kept...

Premium Member Brutus - Sonnet Version
"And you, Brutus?" And then was Caesar dead. A moment's act and history's chapter done; A moment's thrust and Caesar's life was bled, And you the one that Caesar thought his son. But were you son of Rome, and that came first? Did Caesar die a hero, or a knave? Can justice spring from such a violent burst? Can sudden murder be...

Were Caesar's physique and a psyche imperishable? Did he gain gifts from sources that were ineligible? Hadn't all his possessions been from the heavens, rather? Should he, then, for tributes, bother the son of the father? Should Jews pay taxes to the Romans? This was their question. Didn't you, as the infinite, know their foul intention? If you say, You should...

Disappointing Hero
With a rescue package that won’t pick up Being steadily hit by a hiccup And prices jacking up Should we still treat him like a hero Who has scored a shameful zero? Still him obediently follow And this taking to tomorrow? Ourselves consoling with laughs hollow And him sparing a ripe bellow? Or isn’t the disappointing Hero Some sort of...
