In March 15, 44 B.C.E. in the city of Rome
At the Curia of Pompey in the Theatre of Pompey
The Ides of March, celebration of a day of reckoning
Senators and their allies drew daggers, killing Caesar
For he'd grown so arrogant as to become dangerous
The power of Rome had tempted Caesar's hand
It cost Caesar dearly, for in the end, men feared him
The assassins chose to kill him, rather than be killed
