TO BE

To be or not to be

The question was asked

To think or not to think

And understand the past

To taste or not to taste

The desires which we savor

To sense, to smell, to excite our favour

 

To dream or not to dream

Or is the die cast

To see or not to see

What we’ve unmasked

To speak or not to speak

About what we’ve done

To touch, to feel, to love someone

 

Will the pain of life

Be all we remember

When our light dims

Like a fading ember

Or will all our joys

And what they bring

Live on in the lives, of our offspring
