call me Caesar

call me Caesar
ruler of the wild and unconventional
anointed with scars into a star
and symbol of dominion
my genes are allergic to defeat
born to keep rising
because kings do not fall
even in the noise of warmth
and comfort
we hear the call of the wild
to return to the greatness
we lived
on rough roads
in tough jungles
