Poor Polonius
What have I done to deserve such a fate?
The stars finally yell at me, go away.
How can my life result in so much hate?
I will have brought about my lord’s doomsday.
I should have said a word to my Hamlet.
I should have seen fate’s sword coming for him.
Now the drapes have been drenched in my scarlet,
I’m afraid that the story will be grim.
I can see stars, my peace and my quiet.
Hamlet and his madness have gone too far,
Hamlet is now the devil’s diet.
I weep ‘cause my breath has gone to the air.
Please help me understand my purpose here,
Or have the stars been my one puppeteer?
