To Write Or Not To Write

To write, or not to write?
'Tis not a question at all.
Write about anything big, or small.

To write, or not to write?
'Tis such a foolish thing to ask,
Write about the future, the present, or the past.

To write, or not to write?
'Tis a ridiculous thought.
Write about peace, and many wars fought.

To write, or not to write?
I shall indulge it no more.
For I will write about life, love, and much much more.
