Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Cut

My father said, "Pothimus, you"
"Must be castrated to assure"
"The Pharoah's favor be your due."
The cuts below, I did endure.
As Regent for young Ptolemy,
I sought power all for my own.
Cleopatra did not trust me,
Eunich behind her brother's throne.
Egypt fell into civil war.
Caesar came to save Cleo's life,
By imprisoning me, and more.
Again my fate was by the knife.

Not below, but above instead,
Caesar's soldier cut off my head.
