To Be Or Not To Be
Shall I find this moment of my death cold
To chose life, for life's sake, my kingdom lost
A valiant decision, to be so bold
Rather to weigh the righteousness, the cost
This barren field plowed by legacy's blood
Now corrupt by darker skies, without sun
To slay this solemn heart, in shallow mud
To lay cold and feeling the life blood run
Has my spirit fell upon earth so weak?
To gather strength, to flee this ancient ground
And learn to live less a king, life unique
To be a ghost, among the shadows found
Shall I chose to drown in life's rushing tide
Shall I chose to masquerade and hide
for the contest Shakespeare
