Somehow, things just got messed up!

Yup, things that happened to me always went wrong, and I don't really know why. When I'm around, things around me went wrong. When I'm handling things, they just went wrong strangely. And then everyone just came and scolded me saying that it was my fault, even though it just went wrong by itself!!! I composed this to describe how:

All of them were looking at something,
Something considered very important
Which they had to finish quickly,
'Cause it's considered very seldom.

I was not involved in it
And I happened to walk past them.
I was curious about what they were doing
And I moved to them to see what happened.

When I was there I found out
That they were looking at two roosters
The roosters were fighting out
To see who is the winner.

I looked somehow surprised
I tried to advance to see more closely
All of the sudden I was realised
And they fled as if I am a beast.

All of them were suddenly shocked
And then they turned to look at me.
Then they blamed me and make me mocked,
What on earth had I done to them?

I swear on earth and to God,
That it was not me who scared them away.
I didn't know that at such distance,
The roosters would be scared away.

And so I was confusingly despised,
Recognized as the "scarerooster".
I didn't know there is a curse in disguise
That prepared to strike at me first.

Although I hadn't experienced the incident in the poem, other incidents are particularly similar. And, yup, I'm such an unlucky person.

A book called Hamlet by William Shakespeare

Somehow I have gotten with this book of tragedy and read it up. Never mind how I got it, but this book is really tragedic. With this guy called Hamlet avenging his father to kill his uncle, all became so sad.

     It started when suddenly the castle is haunted by a ghost. Three sentinels, Marcellus, Barnado and Francisco were standing on guard, chatting when suddenly a ghost comes in.  Strangely, this ghost looked like the dead king of Denmark! Three of them forced him to speak something, but the ghost just went off. After this, the scene was set in the Council Chamber where the king, Claudius, grieves for the recent death of the previous king which was also his brother. He also granted the leave of Laertes, the king's advisor Polonius's son, to France. 

    This is where Hamlet comes in. The king asked Hamlet not to grieve too much on his father's death and look on the bright side. When I first looked at Hamlet, I always thought that he hated the king, also his uncle, by the use of words. Anyway, after only Hamlet remains, he grieves again for his father (and I knew one thing: the king remarried the queen!!). The real story begins when Horatio (Hamlet's friend) with two sentinels came to Hamlet and told him of the ghostly thing. Hamlet seemed interested and kept asking Horatio about the ghost.

    In the next scene, Laertes prepared to take his leave with Ophelia (his sister) watching him leave. He advised Ophelia not to love Hamlet too much and stay away from him (Ophelia can also be said as Hamlet's girlfriend, and seems to me that hardly anyone likes Hamlet). Later, Polonius comes in and advised Laertes before he leaves.
