Catullus: Critical of Caesar
A Work in Progress
49
Though we live free we are oppressed
these are tense time my muscles know
crave a hot bath so they might unclench
wash away faraway wars I’ve no part in.
Caesar’s putting a wrench into what once worked well
now all must suffer his constant farting
oppressions of freedom cruelty to science
trampling of citizens human rights
bringing back slavery for those we made free
for whose benefit if not for our enemies.
No conquering hero he he owes Crassus his wealth
he's more an appeaser who’ll delay deciding
waiting for bigger bribes to stay his small hand
we are being oppressed there’s no peace in the land
