TO BE OR NOT TO BE
'Not to be'
is so easy
for me
my life
has been made happy
by 'not to be'
be like others?
that would be
death to me
be more
than myself?
what fallacy!
too many such people
who claim superiority
not for me
too many
with snobbery
I run away immediately
money
big, big money
not my fancy
all my life
I've hidden away
from clubs and high society
'come subscribe to
our philosophy'
they open the door-it terrifies me
'here is immortality'
I'm a humanist
that doesn't belong to me
'now is your last sunset'
its fading lights do you see?'
Ah for once --- yes--let me be !
