Antigone Poem

The king is dead for he went mad

His two sons have chance for power

One son was good, the other bad

Fought against one another but in the end death reach both their hour

Two of his daughters are alive

Antigone courage she had shown

Now the decision had arrive

She was going to bury the bad brother and forget the king of the throne

Ismene however left her do so alone

Creon is officially the new King

He sets commands to bury the good brother with a royal ceremony

And the other brother to rotten and to the birds.

Time passes as Messenger goes to Creon with words

That someone had bury the bad brother without asking the King.

Creon now mad

Sends people to find out who done this

Finds out Antigone had done this and ask for a death wish.

Debating is now taking place.

Who is right Antigone or Creon?

Now Son of Creon comes in the picture

Haemon is his name

He agrees with Antigone and his views are the same.

He set to marry Antigone.

Is love getting in the way?

Does not matter, for Creon, his decision had been made

To put Antigone to death as she will be put away in a cave.

Day goes by as they put Antigone for death.

The prophet however had a vision

If Creon continues these actions, sadness will come upon him.

Creon does not believe and will not swallow his pride.

For he continues his decision and made up his mind.

Later finds out the prophet vision had come true.

Haemon, his son, is now dead for his love was to strong

Creon now knows the decision he made went wrong.

Now feeling powerless.

Creon feels no right to be a King

As he leaves the palace with nothing to love.

For it is now above.
