Obey (Inspired by Hamlet "To be...")

Obey (Inspired by Hamlet "To be...")

To obey, or not to obey: that is the question:

Whether it’s easy to follow the orders and

Keep going on with it

Or to oppose the orders

And go my way.

To disobey: to be free

No more; and to be free to end

The burden of responsibility and

Thousand stop signs my way.

To disobey: to be free

To be free: out of responsibility: ay, there’s the problem.

For in that free life may come obstacles.

The love you miss from the loved ones

The caring you loose of being alone

Or too much freedom might be boredom.

For who really wants to listen to orders.

The commands that come your way,

The directions to be followed every day.

The requests of a person that cannot be dismissed.

When the law is to be submitted;

While authority cannot be terminated.

Thus society keeps all from disobedience;

The praise one gets from obeying

And the blessings that are yet to come

From the darkness of disobedience

Omitting the natural law is inhumane

And lose the respect of a human.

Annie, nice to read you, this is really superb....I've memorized that Hamlet soliloquy and this is the first time I've read a poem inspired by it, great idea by the way....impressive work, enjoyed looking forward to reading more from you

To disobey: to be free

No more; and to be free to end

The burden of responsibility and

Thousand stop signs my way.
