I did not take it lightly though for me this idea was there
Could anything happen to me, when in that crowd of foes
You, my friend, by my side, stood there.
I always thought that you believed in me
I was convinced by my own thoughts that you would support me
And if you would be there, helping me with everything
I could have made anything work, even when conditions would toughest be
I would not call this betrayal, it will demean you
I still love you because I know this wasn't personal for you
And I know that you still love me, even after all of this
I promise I'll come back to you; the end, though it may seem, is not this
The blood empties out of my veins, 'tis the coming true of my worst fears
My life is not just what I lose, I have lost my dear brother
Tell them not to mourn for me, tell them not to shed tears
Alas! "Et tu, Brute? Then die Caesar"
I have always loved the play Julius Caesar, as a student and even now, when I have grown up. This is my tribute to it. I thought that if Julius Caesar had a few more seconds to live, what would he have said to Brutus. This is what I could think of.
Warning: This may not be accurate considering historic facts but is rather solely an admirer( of the book and its larger than life characters)'s point of view.

Original was a masterpiece...Yours is too;)BTW which one are you-Brutus or Julius???
@sid: nah! mine is a simple tribute, nowhere close to a masterpiece status. To answer your quesion -- i would say i am neither of them, just an ousider, one who sees things from a distance tho' i liked the character of brutus more(i know even he wasn't perfect and had some traits but then who does not)
Beautiful and creative work, love it
