"He would have proved most royal
Had he been put on" ~ Wm. Shakespeare
But young Hamlet
Never reached the throne
Potentials lost in the dram of
Politics
His short life foiled
Treachery laced in a poisoned
Touch
A gaming room of doors
Without escape
We might well wonder
What could have been
But life, like an Old King
Plotting
Has its own ambitions
Often contrary, to the best
Fulfillment of our own.
~ Laurence Overmire
