Hail me, venerate and revere me
I am a Godly entity
I have the blood and the wealth
Vow your wholehearted fidelity
I am your Emperor now

Hail me, adulate and adore me
I am an Immortal Warrior
Slayer of beasts and gladiators
Pay me tribute for my bravery
and bathe with me in the spoils of victory

Praise me, worship and honor me
I bring you into the Golden Age
Triumphant battles, peace and glory, and for that
gratuitous fortune is bestowed upon you

Hate me, criticize and defile me?
Venomous treasons against their ruler
Underlings envy my throne and conspire
Forked tongue devils lay by my side
I shall smite them for their treachery

Exalt me, regard and protect me
Grant me the honor and complete my supremacy
As Consul to the Senate
For I am the Caesar, the Augustus
Ruler of the Universal Colony of Earth

I feel it says something of the rise and fall of an empire. Beautifully penned.
