Honor Poem

When the Rightous are Unclean

No one has the honor to stand up for what they've seen. The innocents fall as early as their teens. Collapsing under the weight of a tyrant, forcing them to their knees.

And yet im seen as a pariah because i refuse to let them proceed. Im using me to further their blackened seeds.


But the fearfull see us as the same. Because i take the fight to the oppressor as violently as he takes it to me. For the only way to defeat a monster is by setting your own free.

And the war that commences is one the cowards wont impede. Hoping i slay their demons so the bloody waters recede. Though i stand victorious i walk alone as i slowly bleed.

As those who lack courage judge my actions obscene. I then speak aloud to those present and the ones who remain unseen. Before you point your fingers, make sure your hands are clean.

For he who does not punish evil commands it to be free.

This poem relates to Julius Caesar in many ways, on both "sides." There are lines that represent himself and many lines that can be shown as the conspirators. In the play, Julius has a lot of people against him that makes him a pariah and he doesnt even know it. That line fits perfectly because they don't like how he rules and think he isn't fit for it. At time it seems that Julius Caesar is alone but in his own eyes he stands victorious despite the conspirator's views. This refering to line that says," Though I stand victorious I walk alone as I slowly bleed." Caesar is being honorable not only to himself but his land as well as he sticks to his word and does what he thinks is right.

The last line of the poem says, " For he does not punish evil commands it to be free." This line realtes perfectly to the conspirators. They feel that Caesar is the wrong choice and will lead Rome to failure. They are doing everything they can do to get him out of power. Conspirators aren't worried about Caesar's honor they are just concerned about the future of Rome. They do not believe the decisions that Caesar is making are made for the better whole.
