Brutus

Et tu, Brute,
the only one I trust?
I turn my back to you in faith,
and you return me to the dust?

Why, friend, why?
Was it something that I said?
Now, thanks to you and your betrayal,
I lie here dead.

The three things men Will kill each other over. Money, Power, P***y. Never forget that

A truer statement has never been uttered.

Unique perspective, very well written piece on the effects of betrayal.

Thank you, Rita. Call me crazy for criticizing the Bard, but I think the ghost of Caesar could've been used a bit more. Thanks for reading as always.

"Why, friend, why?
Was it something that I said?
Now, thanks to you and your betrayal,

These are simply great lines Will...:)

And for the first time I have seen someone addressing Brutus.

Thank you Mary. "Julius Caesar" is one of my favorite works, so I thought it would be a nice sort of homage to a great work, while also displaying some frustration with a betrayal.

Well said.
