**Livvy Shafer ** **The Real Macbeth **

**Macbeth is an evil killer ** **He hired a murderer named Miller ** **He killed me wife and son ** **Please don't make a pun ** **Macbeth's true character has shown through ** **Believe me this is true ** **Macbeth is heartless and greedy ** **He really is to needy ** **Lady Macbeth was in control the whole time ** **Macbeth was just her mime ** **The witches started it all ** **Macbeth just finished it at the call ** **He heard me tell him how I was born ** **<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Macbeth didn't even have time to mourn ** **<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I took of his head ** **<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And brought back the bread **

** ﻿ ﻿Chris Garling ** ** Looking in the Mirror **

** Decaying in soul, rotting in spirit, ** ** my conscience nonexistant, ** ** young Siward by my sword ** ** hath this world ** ** departed. ** ** Now ** ** I see the ** ** trees, marching down their straight ** ** and narrow path, angels come to banish Lucifer ** ** from his ill begotten throne, soaked in blood. ** ** Once I served an angel, a righeous king, a God in his own right, ** ** until ** ** the seed was planted ** ** ambition reared its gory head ** ** and consumed the entirety of my soul. ** ** This seed of evil tree hath grown its roots into the ** ** fertile soil of my queen's mind, a deadly disease passed around by a ** ** pair of fallen angels. ** ** A cancer which hath claimed ** ** her soul for Satan already. ** ** I now face my own demise, and I stand here ** ** without fear ** ** realizing that death ** ** may not manifest itself as an intruder, but instead as a guest. **

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">I am dead, my wife is dead, and we are 6 feet underground.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">We deserved what we got and I guess you could say that karma came back around.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">We lied, cheated, and murdered our way to the top.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">But with a swift motion of a sword, my head did drop.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">I knew I shouldn’t of trusted her, that lady is nuts.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Now there is no way to return, no ifs, ands, or buts.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">It is too late, for me to be sorry for what I’ve done.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">And the afterlife, if I must say, isn’t all that fun.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">If I could go back, I wouldn’t have let the thought of power go to my head.

<span style="color: #ff00a2; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">But I wish the consequences of my mistakes didn’t leave us both dead.

Paige Gross __Lady Macbeth__

Oh, my dear Macbeth

What feelings stir in your head?

I am guilt ridden

__Macbeth__

Banquo must be dead

Nothing standing in my way

I will remain king

__Banquo__

The guilt of Macbeth

Could it drive him too crazy?

What about my life?

__Macbeth’s Death__ Macbeth is now dead Macduff chopped off his head I shall be the new king This is a very good thing Scotland will be very peaceful The people will all be cheerful Now that the throne is mine Everything will be fine

Banquo's Death Macbeth is now king But there's still some loose ends Banquo needs to be killed And yet they're best friends He rides on a horse in the dead of night Along with fleance, there's no need for fright Off in the distance come three mysterious men The house keeps on trotting around a short bend All of the sudden poor banquo is dead But no need to fear because Fleance has fled..

__Killing Duncan__ Should I kill Duncan or not I don't know, Lady Macbeth and I fought Try to become the king Or ask for some cha-ching I'm going to go through with it Duncan will be dead in a little bit I will clean myself of the blood It will come out like a flood I have done the deed Now, I have what I want and need.

__The Murderers__ Macbeth has hired us Killing Banquo and Fleance is a must We have to wait for them to come down the road If we get the job done, well get the mother load We see the glow from down the path Once this is done well have a nice laugh We must extinguish the light It will end as a easy fight As they came by Banquo was the only one to die Fleance has got away We have to report to Macbeth to get our pay Even though the job wasn't complete Macbeth will not suffer defeat. The thought had never really crossed my mind

To be the queen of this prosperous land

But it shall be, the witches prophesied

So by my love, King Macbeth, I will stand

But Duncan is king, so how can this be?

For now I’m only a general’s wife

He must be dethroned, the deed done by me

We must take his power, or take his life

He’s coming tonight, but won’t go away

For his last eve of sleep will be tonight

I’ll finish the deed before light of day

I will, for my king doesn’t have the might

It won’t be pretty, nor be a good sight

Nevertheless, Duncan will die tonight

The Great Macbeth Oze Navat

Thane of Glamis and of Cawldor that I be. But the king of Scotland may be the key. To hold all the power I will ever need. I have the skills nessesary to lead. To become king, a king must die. The murder of him, must be sly. For see the future, as the three witches. I am sure to have many riches. Thane of Cawldor is a traitor. He abused his peoples needs, he did not cater. Lady Macbeth wanting to kill. She is looking for that extreme thrill. Macbeth is the name, I am a powerful man. I am trying to be, the best I can.
