Response To Hamlet

To Be a Murderer

By: Amber Copp

I did not want to be this

A murderer was not the plan I had

But what else could I do

I’m in a room full of traitors

My uncle or father you could say

He is sitting right next to my mother

A fine woman she is

But how could she be so blind to be with a man

Who is my father’s brother

Only a fool could be so blind

Revenge! I must fulfill my father’s will

That despicable man can’t be king

This poison and rot must go

But yet with all this will power I must be able

But I can’t, but I must, but will I?

To be or not to be that is still yet the question
