Father Adam and Hamlet
By Reid Baer

The true knowledge, the pure awful
Quixotic knowledge, I would say:
the insight into the Fallen
impossibility of this

Rank mortality is enough
to annihilate any mans
ambition and bring on nothing
but calamitous depression.

My beloved Hamlet was not
indecisive as some may claim.
He was heroic because he
saw the ridiculousness of

Trying to set right a world out
of joint. Inherently, this fact
kills action and action requires
the veil of some illusion or

Faith for our conscious son finding
reasons for living for this is
the definitive doctrine of
the Dane: he saw the horrible

Truth that outweighs any motive
for action and yet he moved be-
cause of his will to live - on task!
He didnt sin he made a choice.

Like Father Adam he paid a
price, as do we all, TO BE in
this lifes moment through eternal
natures of things and on earth man

Trods alone or in Spirit with
the Blessed One who has already
endured overwhelming odds
allowing for a living God.

  • PuppyZzzzzzzzz, how ...

    PuppyZzzzzzzzz, how I love your responses.

    There was no police, or FBI, or CIA to go to for a "lawful" interdiction.

    Hamlet was the lawful prince and "heir" to the kingdom. He couldn't stand still for lawlessness.

    Even if people died - he still lived according to principle and honor.

    Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead - nice play reference - because they were co-conspirators. And yes, some innocents died.

    And yet Hamlet took the better course of doing something rather than nothing.

  • Now I get that poem ...

    Now I get that poem about violence.

    Still,

    if anything and just talking about Hamlet:
    His actions got everybody (else) dead. Not just action.

    Even Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.
    The weapon, a letter.

    No wonder he took an 'indecisive' breather contemplating the ants at his mercy.
    Before pushing this boulder over the edge.

    How cruel the fate of the hero that plotted the path to destruction.
