Poison My Blood (Thicker than blood Parody) (Garth brooks)

This is my take on Garth Brooks song " Thicker than Blood". I used Nero in this story. He killed his first and second wife and had his mother killed and later he was killed. So I hope you like it.

He was born in a Roman city

Raised by Agrippina

Betrothed to another queen

He had no other babies

Wanted one of his own

He got together 

With a new queen

His power he shared

Which made him insane

But his family 

Was a family none the same

It's been said 

Water is thicker than mud

Oh, but poison is 

Thicker than blood

With his new family on the way

Power raining down

Lord, he must have 

Mother trying to steal

Away all of his loyal people

Just walking around

Lord, I can't comprehend 

The anxiety they feel

For that invisible river of poison

Will be the death of me

God give him the strength

To keep that contagion away from him

Oh, but poison is 

Thicker than blood

And if poison is

Thicker than blood

Then water we fighting for?

Is it for his emperors power

Or something that 

Is so much more

I seen him on the stage

But you must understand

Lord, he was the one

He killed his wife with his knee

How in Nero's name

Would you hit her with his fists

With his hands 

He killed another

Just because they didn't agree

As he walked down the halls

He couldn't see though

And see what Nero 

Has been telling you and me

Water is thicker than mud

Oh, but poison is 

Thicker than blood

Great poem! Very entertaining. I like how you find something random that inspires you and you write a unique poem with it. :)

It is like Nero is wearing a six gallon cowboy hat and some chaps! It is a great visual :) Favorite line: 'And if poison is Thicker than blood Then water we fighting for?'..Nice turn of phrase.
