Napoleon Bonaparte dead.
A stomach cancer said to be
The cause of death, but could instead,
Arsenic caused fatality?
Toxic levels of it were found
In his body, and thus the hint
That perhaps foul play was aground,
With poisoning as the intent.
If that indeed was what occurred,
Was it murder or suicide?
Napoleon was a caged bird,
His spirit had already died.

His last live breath spoke, “Josephine.”
King of the world once, with his queen.

This was interesting, about the little ruler of France. His only fault was he took on
too me Armies. Ate too well, not healthy. Going into Russia was a bad idea. France
in the early 1800, needed leadership, he assumed the role. and became the ruler of the France. He saw in France, a people who needed to regain their drive. Yet, taking to pushing the masses into a war to take more land, was a mistake and cost France miillions of lives.
