BOASTING AND BRAGGING. HE WASN'T ONE TO GO FOR A FLAGON
HE USUALLY KEPT IT COOL, STAYING SOBER AND ACTIVE.
BUT THE STOICS WERE MADDENED BACK IN ROME SWITCHING TACTICS
WHILE HE CONQUERED GAUL AND BROUGHT CONTROL TO THE MASSES
MEANWHILE IN THE EAST JUST NORTH OF DAMASCUS
A PARTHIAN CONTINGENT KILLED THAT OLD NIGGA CRASSUS
THE TRIUMVIRATE FAILED HE HAD HOPED THAT IT HADN'T
BUT THEN THE DAUGHTER OF SCIPIO MARRIED POMPEIUS MAGNUS
IT ALL HIT A SNAG THEN. ALLIANCES SEVERED
SO HE CALLED IN HIS CAPTAINS AND DRANK SOME WINE TOGETHER
HE INDULGED IN THE DRINK TO FREE THE STRESS FROM HIS MIND
AND TOLD MARK ANTONY HE WAS THE BEST, AND DIVINE
HE SAID ON THE MORROW HE'D STRIKE WEST FROM THE RHINE
DOWN SOUTH TO THE RUBICON FOR THEIR TEST OF HIS PRIDE
IF HE WENT UNARMED THEY'D ARREST HIM AND TRY HIM
BUT IF HE WENT UNDER ARMS, THEY'D BE BESTED IN TRYING
HE WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY DRUNK, STUPID AND WEARY
BUT ADDRESSED THE 13TH POSSESED WITH JUPITERS SPIRIT
FIRED UP THE TROOPS WHO WERE WHOOPING AND CHEERING
AND GAVE OFF THE IMAGE AND ILLUSION OF FURY
HE KNEW THEN HE WOULD GO THROUGH WITH THE PLAN
THE LEGION WOULD BE WITH HIM EACH TRUE TO A MAN


HE CROSSED THE RUBICON AND HIS ENEMIES FLED
POMPEY WENT TO EGYPT AND THEY SEVERED HIS HEAD
CATO TOOK HIS OWN LIFE IN THE GENERALS TENT
AND SCIPIO? FELT THE SWORD
AFTER SURRENDERING.
YEP.

EMPEROR SHIT. EVEN CATO TOLD US
HE WAS THE ONLY MAN TO TRY TO OVERTHROW THE STATE WHILE SOBER
