The Cruelty of Fate
By With love_Crow
Why do you drink the blood of Juliet's paramour?
Has she not suffered
enough by your hand?
Are you not the culprit who handed him the vial?
The blade she had used that is now defiled?
Weren't you there
when Odysseus fought
To get home to his wife left at the whim of your
mercy
Or when Leonidas bravely fought for his own
With three
hundred that stood beside his now empty throne?
Did you laugh
when Macbeth fell to the charm
Of three witches boiling with double
the strife
Was a smirk at your lips when his tainted crown
From
it's perch on his head came tumbling down?
The credence of your
crimes are unmatched
For your hands have dealt cards that have overthrown
kings
And sacrificed love sick children for you own pleasure
The
blood of those spilt I can never quite measure
But your brother
Destiny has intervened so
And turned your own merriment against you
You have won the lives of those pawns at a stake
And left room for
your sibling to chuckle Checkmate.

I really like this. I like how you relate different things that happened in history and were made into books to fate.
