A patriarchal figure of Scotland, <br />Who Macbeth was to send, <br />To his death, so that he may become ruler, <br />Which attracted a great deal of furor. <br /> <br />In Macbeth did Duncan place trust, <br />However, this all was to turn to dust, <br />As ambition came over Macbeth like a flood, <br />And this resulted in the shedding of Duncan's blood. <br /> <br />Macbeth's cousin was Duncan, <br />However Macbeth did leave his guards drunken, <br />And crept to his chamber and dealt the blow, <br />Which would seeds of his own destruction sow. <br /> <br />A worthy king was Duncan indeed, <br />His country to great heights did he lead, <br />He destroyed his enemies one by one, <br />And then left it all to Malcolm, his son. <br /> <br />He trusted Macbeth to the hilt, <br />And with his help was his empire built, <br />However, in the end by Macbeth was he killed, <br />As Macbeth was with ambition filled.<br /><br />Pratheek Praveen Kumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/king-duncan/
