A Fricken Poem!

Cicero followed the traditions
Understanding power
Roman Republic
Seduced by ambitious Generals
Ursurpation
Senate had all power

Honouring Rome's People
Opposing against traditions
Not following ladders of office by most
Ongoing civil wars
Rome was on a Breakdown of the Republic
Using armies to gain power
Melting the Roman Republic
