Gaius Julius Caesar Poem by ENOCH JOHN

When he crossed the Rubicon with his troops his fate with Rome sealed,
But why did the Tiber become melancholy and shed tears of sadness?
Hail Caesar! Great ruler of Rome.Hail Caesar! Great conqueror of Gaul,
But himself conquered by Brutus, Cassius and their league,
For they seemed to have feared his union with beautiful and mysterious Cleopatra of the coiled Nile.Was it an act of cowardice
or was it a noble one to protect the Republic?
Over and over they stabbed this noble man until his blood stained their august chamber.

If the dictum 'tempus edax rerum omnium'(time the devourer of all things) holds true, then the hurt and anger may have faded from memory in the sempiturnal annals of history.
