(8) Persona Poem


AZAMI MOHAMED 154992

I have chosen Macbeth for my persona poem. Since the title of the play is named after Macbeth, then why shouldn't I compose a poem for him, right?

As I said earlier, Shakespeare was such a wise man. He could envision that men will never change when it comes to power. Macbeth, strive through blood and bodies to capture his non-deserved throne. One may say he is a coward. Say as you want, but you can't escape from reality. What reality does Macbeast brought? The reality of using others as pawn to achieve our goal. What makes it difference is on how the mastermind used his pawn. Either it is to seem ethical and white, or radical and pitch black.

Macbeast was being realistic. Although if he had the guts to murder Duncan and Banquo with his own hands, the job was too risky. How realistic is it when you are guarding your image to your own people? How would you rule a nation fully when you have murder scandal surrounds you? What more regicide?

Macbeast sure knows how to deal with the public. He must have great Public Relation officers. But not all seem to learn from him. Still, Macbeast unable to hold on his throne for long. Although the casualties are only:  King Duncan, his two chamberlains, Macbeth's fellow general Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children
Not even 10. What more 800,000? So Rwanda, Yugoslavia and many others, you may learn to hide your shits if you want to take control. Ya right, how'd you hide an elephant carcass under a carpet.

I pray the world will stop kill each other.

Macbeth,
Cunning, safe-playing, Scottish and witty,
The hyena of Scotland,
Who kills his fellow companion, king for glory,
Who stops being humane to seize the bloody throne,
Who is haunted by mere dagger and Banquo's spectre,
Resident of the Highlands,
King Without a Crown Macbeth
