To Be or Not to Be
February 10, 2012
To be, or not to be
That is the question
To be is to live
And to bravely face the world
The awful things that people do
To be is to go forward
Knowing that man
Is the greatest monster in this world
To be is to go forward
When the world seems
To pull itself apart
Shouting and screaming louder and louder
To not be
Is to throw yourself
Into the dark abyss
Of death
To kiss Thanatos
On the cheek
And follow him
Into the earth
To plunge off
An insurmountable cliff
Into the unknown
Into where the monsters dwell
To be,
Or not to be
