Bonaparte

Joseph C Ogbonna

He that trod upon subservient Europe
with the imperial guards' fighting prowess,
did himself and his heartthrob the empress,
entrench thrones jointly owned by their hookup.
He that caused guns to rage on Europe's plains
and cannons to thunder on Egypt's sands,
sent hussars and mamluks to distant flight.
He usurped crowns for his dear siblings' gains,
and enthroned loyalists to head vanquished lands.
But was banished for good from France's sight
after a stunning loss on Belgium's plains.

    He child of such ill-fated circumstance
    it defies, belief
    In-fact only those preposterously
    fantastic events
    that took place to instigate ww1
    garner, more bewilderment...
    From his Corsica routes
    and that embattled and begrudging
    Pasquale Paoli's, grave miscalculations
    of Bonaparte's potential..
    We would have another roman empire
    resurgence, via Genoese - Genoa
    instead
    it was the French that de facto, benefited
    from this great tactician
    and driven, embodiment
    of Humanity's capacity to shape
    the world!
    He could have been so - so
    much more, but for a little luck
    what a shame...
    (thanks for sharing
    such a wonderfully informative poem)
    a great read
    'in my humble opinion'
