“but now I am cabined, cribbed, confined, bound in to saucy doubts and fears”
William Shakespeare - Macbeth
Today I graft with
words in homage to
the Bard
the Bard
whose language lives
to this day and bears
truth to every happening
Now I am cabined here alone
cribbed by a hovering virus
Confined with my own thoughts
how one cunning crazed maniac
could kill 22 without restraint
could kill 22 without restraint
Our townsmen and guardians
fallen and gone
Incongruity abounds
Saucy doubts and fears
reign unfettered
during this
unearthly time

Inspired by
Shakespearean words put to great use.
ReplyDeleteCondolences on the loss of life at violent hands - awful and tragic, in times already sorrowful.
I share your feelings in the wake of this horrible event. On top of the virus, it feels like a scary world out there. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences, Linda. This is such a powerful write!
ReplyDeleteShakespeare's words to describe such a modern tragic time... So sorry the hell we know in the states is now hurting the heart of Canada
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely horrific that the Bard's words ring so true. The inhumanity of humans in these carnages is unthinkable. Somehow, we must rid ourselves, this earth, of these kinds of events. A very powerful write, Linda.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of Shakespearean words, Linda. I especially like the use of alliteration in the lines:
ReplyDelete‘Now I am cabined here alone
cribbed by a hovering virus’.
How terrifying the shooting must have been! It is indeed an unearthly time.
