The Difficult Choice of Being

To be or not to be?

Hamlet agonizes
over the ultimate question
as we play along
at home with him

Waiting for the 
parting gift revelation
we all hope to get
before the show ends

Of course
this famous
oft imitated dilemma 
is very open ended

Open to interpretation
by savant philosophers
and would be pseudo poets

For you see
to me
"To be or not to be"
is not only about 
a close the production
suicide contemplation

Not a literal life or death musing
but instead a self spotlight query
of how we choose
to do our daily living
when faced with adversity
in this unscripted drama existence
always teetering on tragedy
for perpetually perplexed us
stuck in these nuanced
complex roles
we are destined
to never understand fully

So how do we play the scene today?
