Napoleon R.I.P. Poem by Ima Ryma

Napoleon R.I.P.



Napoleon Bonaparte dead,
A stomach cancer said to be
The cause of death, but could instead,
Arsenic caused fatality?
Toxic levels of it were found
In his body, and thus the hint
That perhaps foul play was aground
With poisoning as the intent.
If that indeed was what occurred,
Was it murder or suicide?
Napoleon was a caged bird,
His spirit had already died.

His last live breath spoke, 'Josephine.'
King of the world once, with his queen.
