A poem of a man in need of renewal.
Ah yes, Hamlet the man!
What words do speak of him?
That one's mind, intricate to understand.
A countenance sad and bewailing, his insides wrenching.
The many loves he had
but the even greater betrayals along his path.
The Hamlet of Denmark;
A state ranking deceit,
one with much persons foul in deed.
But one such soul that must be sought out.
A woman that had broke the Prince's spirit
and dropped his heart into the demon's abyss.
But, nay, not a lover that I shall speak
but, a mother, that I shall.

A woman beautifully crafted
that the gods must have enjoyed their task.
However, the gods have sinned
and missed her heart
and what creates in her love for another;
that one Hamlet.
Nay, young people, I say not
that she contempt had
however, I say "no understanding".
That does build love, does it not?

Though a beautiful sight she was,
a mother as this possessed no mind,
that she might have the "eyes"
and see her dear son's collapsing countenance.
Though not wicked she be,
she be slow-witted,
and, young people, do you not concur to this fact?
That Hamlet might have dwelt longer
on this "compound" of Earth
if his mother be an intellect?

But, oh! I do sway away,
for now I must write another interest,
that of the Prince's speech
to his Queen.
That speech clearly manifested in Oedapalous.
That man Freud, he does create a better understanding,
that shall be explained by the myth of Oedapal.

The Prince's words be unkind
and yet cruelty does exhibit kindness,
that of his objective that must reach
his Queen's heart and she repent.
Many words, words unfit for a son
bespeaking to his mother,
words of incest and sexual interpretation,
words we dare not make loud.
However, Hamlet be smoking about his ears,
a manifestation of his anger
that he had already mentioned.

So, young people, this affinity betwixt
a mother and her son
be not as tight ropes
or a strong tower,
but be one of sadness,
despondency, that this family
be wrenched from goodness
by the hands of cruelty,
by the legs of deceit,
by the heart of infidelity
and by the soul of blight.
