Ides of May

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

Just a question of when.

"

and 'Caesar' has lost all friends,

the knives driven deep.

sounds about right
She has no friends, only enemies. All waiting to embed the knife in and finish her off. She does indeed have resilience. Sometimes I wonder how on earth she gets out of bed each morning to face another day.
