An Egyptian Reaction to Recent Senatorial Meetings

My dear Roman friends,

Upon receiving word from my interwebs of slaves and a detailed summary of the latest senatorial meeting, I am simply appalled by the audacity of a few of its members. Where do I begin? First of all, I find it utterly ridiculous that the trial of Marc Antony be held before the trial of the conspirators, who unlawfully murdered the leader of this fair nation. Let's use our minds that the gods have granted us, dear Romans. Does it make sense to bring someone to trial on accusations of forgery, which are completely unfounded and clearly biased due to personal feelings towards others in the senate before a disgusting and untrustworthy murderer? Along with this, let me remind you all that your senate is halfway filled with liars and cheaters who seek personal gain either through military or monetary purposes. I for one can think of a handful of Romans who thought that they would be in power and still hope to be, even if that means using force or intimidation.

It tears at my heart to see the direction in which this senate is going: creating political factions, not trusting one another, and forgetting the man that loved Rome and all within it.

Brutus is a murderer and all that associate with him I can safely call the same. If you befriend a murder, you are just as worthless and evil. Dolabella is greedy and wants nothing but more money and more power. If you befriend the greedy, you will become just as selfish. Lepidus is power hungry and wants to increase his military reserves. If you befriend a power hungry man, you will become just as ruthless.

I pray that the senate can calm itself and see the light. The will and acta of Caesar have always been the word of Caesar. These documents were not changed by Marcus Antonius; the men that claim this are those who should not be trusted.

Ps. My children were not even mentioned in the will, and I still care more about your nation and the direction it is heading than most of you ever could. Toodles.
