Movie Poem

In South Carolina's low country,
The Murdaughs reigned supreme,
A wealthy family with power,
Their legacy seemed like a dream.

But behind the fancy dresses,
Alex had secrets to keep,
And when his son, Paul, was involved in a crash,
The truth began to seep.

For over a hundred years,
The Murdaughs had their sway,
But with Paul's indiscretions,
Their legacy began to sway.

Bill Pullman plays Alex Murdaugh,
Lauren Robek is his wife,
Together they must face the truth,
And the consequences of their life.

So gather 'round, and listen close,
To the story of the Murdaughs,
A family once so powerful,
Now brought to their knees by their flaws.
