Calpurnia Poem by Martin Greyford

Calpurnia

Rating: 5.0


Some women are more loyal
Than the word itself
I have known a woman
Who had loved her husband
More than anything.

The only crime she committed
Was being loyal, loving and humble
Perhaps being barren as well,
Even after discovering the infidelities of her husband
A weakness of sort did it become later.

Calpurnia is her name
A woman who valued and understood
What marriage means
Despite her husband cheating on her
A woman who appreciated

Her marriage more than her ego.
A woman who sought peace with the husband
Though it was rendered null and void
A woman who out of love warned
Her husband of the dangers he's fallen into.

But the stupidity of her husband
Made him pay a deaf ear to her utterance
And later died in the hands of the
Same woman who had warned him the conspiracy.
Do such women ever exist?
