Re: Hamlet
It breaks my heart to see you go so soon,
but God above has heard your desp'rate prayer
and now, hearing the darkness in your heart,
answers the call with your untimely death.
You got everything that you had asked for -
familial revenge served flaming hot;
taking uncle's life in trade for father's,
his medicine he was made to drink of.
You pinned for relief, sought perm'nent release.
Alas! But at what cost was answered prayer?
A lover, friends, kinsmen all met with death
as a curse that you may have your blessing.
This earth you once regarded as prison
no longer holds you up or holds you down -
your royal domain is now the unknown,
the land whose ills you are now made to bear.
Life flows in us and leaves so quickly, and
sad beginnings can beget sad endings;
a rapier's end is your young end, and
in the end, as said, the rest is silence.
