To be or not to be

To be or not to be…
That was HIS question.
A poet, a playwright,
A genius, a master
Read out loud by hundreds of people
Respected, Saluted
A man unique in this world
And yet it is that very same question
I ask myself, day by day, night by night
To be or not to be…
To tell or not to tell…
To stay or not to stay…

To be or not to be…
He became famous through that question,
will I as well? Should I?
Though God knows it would be another
sort of fame.
Of course he knows!
He'd just have to look at the carnation in my buttonhole to know!
Not that he needs to…
Probably heard Bosie and his father argue all the way to heaven…
Not that it still matters now…
With the trial only days away…
The only thing that matters still is
To be or not to be…
That is MY question
A writer, a poet
…
A lover.
