To be or not to BE

Times ago…. the majestic celestials met

And deliberated.

Each one a unique one…the hues, the forms, the extent.

A chance to evolve

And each one thought

‘To be or not to be’.

 

All thoughts rethought

Many times over.

The possibilities considered

Left many questions unanswered.

A choice to make

As each one thought

‘To be or not to be’.

 

All cried just one reason

‘My identity should not weaken’

To exist was the aspiration

To control was the purpose.

And each one pondered

‘To be or not to be’

 

The judgement day arrived

All chose the road most taken.

Freedom was important

The choice was simple…

Between the black and the white.

Though all unsure if they wanted…

‘To be or not to be’

 

The large one burned

The smallest was…alone.

Mistaking the ring

To be the crown.

Mocked the shiniest, though it too was spun around.

All in a frenzy…

Our Earth made THE choice…

And it would BE!

 

A fable shaped the world

And gave this world a world.

Where primates tried to give

Meaning to life….to live!

Sapiens …the refined.

By shape, by being.

But in the mind…lurked the question

‘To be or not to be’.

 

The earth revolved. A bid to evolve.

Like a rattrap, trapping all.

I had to chose

‘To be or not to be’

 

My radical thoughts

My nothingness

My confusion

My boredom

My alienation

My absurdity…

……I lost my purpose.

I wish I knew

If I had

‘To be or not to be’.

 

Full of angst and dread

Exhausted, I lie hopeless.

I looked up at the dim

The hope was thin.

I had little choice…

Between the black and the white.

 

So, I walked away from the black

Slowly treading towards the white…

And lo! I saw the shades

There were more choices

Red, Green and blue…. sang the voices.

Many more colours, many more choices.

I smiled…and I chose

‘To BE!’
