There once was a soul in dismay, Who pondered life’s path day by day. “To be… or not be?” He asked quietly — As the world kept its answers at bay.

The Question of Being
There once was a soul in dismay, Who pondered life’s path day by day. “To be… or not be?” He asked quietly — As the world kept its answers at bay.
A playful twist on Shakespeare’s most famous line — a limerick exploring doubt, choice, and the quiet courage it takes to face life’s deepest questions.
