Beware the Ides of March

“Beware the Ides of March,”

For there is word of hope and change.

Beware the big man under the domed arch

For he spouts words that are very strange.

“Breaking his oath and resolution, like a twist of rotten silk,”

Blaming others for his inadequacies and blunders.

A free country is his plan is to bilk

Until freedom finally falls and flounders.

“Every citizen should be a soldier,” once quoted a wise man.

For “When the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

Which should be the country’s elected plan.

But, “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

“Beware the Ides of March” is upon us

Lest we forget Julius Caesar in Roman times.

For our freedom is not a game of chess

Where the king commits the ultimate crimes.
