Brutus, dear Marcus Brutus, where art thou
We have present day Julius Caesar
and thy presence is acutely missed now
His ambition would sure give you seizure
He is no one’s friend, nor faithful and just
He wants to bring many a captives home
For justice his sacrifice is a must
On the face of earth he shall no more roam.
Rise, rise, wherever you are please rise
It is time to slay the tyrant tormentor
Strike firmly at his heart thrice in a trice
Rid this world of despotic dictator
Finally in peace entire world will pause
No more damage will anyone dare cause.

Oh my, such a lovely piece.. written in the tone and mood of Shakespeare’s writing. Excellent, my dear Punam. Where liveth thou, Mr Brutus?💗

The past brought forward to the present – a well proposed solution though not one that the ghostly Brutus is capable of performing… but we can sleep perchance to dream….

Brutus was close to Caesar, so maybe someone close to him, eh! A girl can dream, right Val!

As you said in your comment, we were very much on the same line hoping for the righteous young man to slay the slayer… Loved the style you wrote it in.
