AUGUSTUS CAESAR

He said, " and though the world fall

Ash on fire,

My house will rule them all!"

And that was his desire.

He said,  "and though the nations quake,

For mercy at my hand,

Until I my house rules them all

I fight to rule this land!"

He said, "and should I die today

Grasping with my last breath,

My house will rule them all

Or I go not to my death."

He said, "The world shall never forget,

When I ruled and how,

For my house shall rule them all

Forever starting now."

They made him a god when they heard him

A god over the people of Rome

But only a wise man knows

That a house is not a home.

And never can houses rule the world

But with an iron hand

To pass away as iron rusts

And sink into the sand.

And Great Augustus Caesar,

Boasting of his dreams

Little thought of Life or Love

What kind of a god was he?
