The Hamlet Project

This must be in the textbook on irony.
A man takes another man’s job
Then tells him to be as he would be
If he’d had the job that is rightfully his.
To the world: “Treat him
As if he were me – the king –
Which is who he should rightfully be in the first place.”
It twists the knife, doesn’t it?
I take your home, move in, claim all your stuff
Then invite you over and say
“Make yourself at home!”
But be sure
If you did
If you put your feet up on the coffee table or
Fixed yourself a cup of tea with your old kettle,
You’d be back on the street in a minute.
Have no doubt, this is my home now. . .
This is how I can welcome you to it.
