To Be or Not?

To be or not, our choice of lot
As shimmer shines, oh naught, oh naught?
To be or not, but signs allot
When destinies dwell, so fraught, so fraught?

But I say forget this not
Forget this not, you ought, you ought
But I say, in love be caught
In love be caught, a lot, a lot

Be kind and merciful to clear the pot
Be meek and gentle, so shines the spot
Be full of hope, be good in thought
Be giving, not getting, with what you’ve bought
Be humble by deed, fame nowhere sought
Be helping, not hurting, untangle that knot
Be good in word, by what you’ve got
Be a teacher by trade, through tongue not taught

To be or not, our choice of lot
As showers set, oh brought, oh brought?
To be or not, but battles fought
Within ourselves, forget this not
