The Death Of Cinna The Poet

Cinna The Poet: Killed From misunderstanding
By Amandius Clarkius

Yesterday afternoon, Cinna the poet was murdered. Angry citizens did this arond the northern streets of Rome, when Cinna was walking, on his way to Caesar's funeral.

Cinna was innocintly walking to pay his respects to Caesar, at his funeral. Sources say a crowd of people came across this man on the street, and started questioning him about who he was, what he was doing, and where abouts he lived.

They found that his name was Cinna, and he was a bachelor. Once the crowd heard his name was Cinna, they knew he could have been the conspirator that helped murder ceasar, so they became a mob, and beat gim to death.

"I Am not the conpirator," cried Cinna, "I am the poet, and love Caesar with all my heart, as a brother!" these are the words I, myself heard him scream, from streets away, befor the people did aeway with him.

A witness talks to The City Beat, "I wasn't sure if he was the conpirator or not, but his name was Cinna so I did not try to stop the people. I was not a part of the murder though."

One of the following participants speaks his thoughts, "Yae, Cinna was his name! He must've been one of the conspirators that helped to kill our leader! T'is why he had to die also!" That must've been what they all were thinking.

I'm Amandius Clarkius, with The City Beat.
Thankyou.

Cinna is a poet and he does know it- assignment 3

O, Caesar,you were like a brother
I surely know there will never be another
As strong, noble, and just as you
The people live on, the songbirds still coo

But I, Julius, will never be the same
I saw them stab you, you were not to blame
I saw the blood and the look on your face
When brutus plunged, in then took the knife out

I stood there and watched
In horror I saw
The best man alive was murdered, and I in aw
And the nerve of that last man
He was your best friend
I guess, for the love of Rome, your friendship had to end

Though you were sometimes arrogant, you also carried pois
You had no fear,and a big triumphant vioce.
Your wealth power, and pride were greatly shown
You, of all people, were the born leader of Rome

-Julius Caesar, I will not forget thee.
