"Hamlet"

Hamlet is a tale of love and deception
But many would say written far from perfection
Though it addresses the issue of humanity
Ophelia herself is driven to insanity
The king was killed by his backstabbing brother
Who married his wife and debased Hamlet's mother
The people are sheep with blind loyalty
Consuming the lies of false royalty
Polonius gets caught between the wall and a sharp place
Laertes returns to avenge with great haste
While Rosencrantz and Guildenstern sail to their deaths
Hamlet emerges with revenge on his breasts
The beautiful Ophelia flows like the river
With flowers so free, and a message to deliver
A challenge is called to reconcile two noble men
Who rage about from every kingdom's end
The final day has come for Denmark's royal family
When Gertrude is poisoned by her husband's own treachery
Laertes and Hamlet pricked by each other's swords
And Claudius finally meets the King of all lords.
