Did someone say classic lit rap?
The Thane of Atheism
Macbeth, such striking nobility noted by whom he has butchered,
Yet his level of innocence indicated when the witches foresee his future,
Regarding his ruler, Duncan, their words limit his days on the earth,
Macbeth will dethrone the man his life has been donated to serve,
Throughout the air, Banquo’s suspicions arise; he is now aware,
Yet Macbeth is intrigued, the situation solicits the theory; ‘foul but fair’,
Lady Macbeth, the cerebral serpent, then will promise her man,
The wildest riches, held in place as long as the prophecy stands,
Banquo, the king’s noble soldier, refusing to disobey his orders,
Senses the witch’s manipulation on the Thane of Cawdor will create dishonour,
The witch’s plague, leaves Banquo’s dreaming hot and restless,
So he warns Macbeth of ‘betrayal’s deepest consequences’,
Disregarding that, Macbeth proceeds with moral amnesty,
Figuring out how he can reside in the castle, without the king’s hospitality.
Now, standing above the unexpecting body, Macbeth contemplates the demise,
Duncan awakes to arise, eyes startled and filled with vacant surprise,
Duncan; a very capable leader as his army grew, a martyr too,
Macbeth plunges down on the dagger, which splits his heart in two.
The witches; the subliminal messaging which the media’s hiding,
Banquo; a concerning priest, merley preaching his guidance,
Lady Macbeth; offers temptations as evil as the demons inside her,
Duncan; our lord almighty, accepts the betrayal with the deepest of kindness,
Macbeth; a tyrant who allowed corruption to climb into his head,
Finds himself unfulfilled and troubled…with no king to respect.
