Andronici

Paying for another’s pride,

Seeing their lusts satisfied.

Stranger thoughts have emerged,

Ones the innocent mind can’t grapple with.

 

Manifest your desires, dearest Lavinia,

Forbid them from ravaging your soul.

Step into the traitors’ forest

And unveil them, fawn or foal.

 

Laying in a pool of red,

Where no same family should thread,

Opportune loves are brutally resting.

Crimes the mind can’t grapple with.

 

Cut out their lying tongue, Lavinia,

Avenge your true nature.

Speak the truth you so lovingly disguise,

Accept you can make your own future.

 

Grasping the false prize over your body,

Overpowering their surroundings, somebody,

Lest you forget their true insensibilities.

Insecurity the mind can’t grapple with.

 

This is the nature of man,

Blood-stained hands and minds, soiled greedy.

 

So, rise and dare to…

The carnage will cease one day.

Forbid them from ravaging your soul.

Unveil it all, pawn or foe.
