I have gutted animals,fed the legion
along side my brothers all
chewed through cloth, and leather
rope and sinew like water

I lay dormant within the folds of
white silken robes, listening to the
chattering of the soft ones bickering
amongst each other over land and title

I was there as they claimed the whole
of the earth as their own
I cried out as they used me to tear
away the love and trust of brothers.

I was there.

When Caesar was slain.
