In Reply to Hamlet's Soliloquy
As Hamlet heaved, “To be, or not to be?”despaired souls, too, have contemplated on this;
though philosophers throughout history
have sought for the answer, they all searched amiss.
Not in riches nor in power, nor pleasure,
nor knowledge, nor wisdom when gone has youth,
but in the mind and heart and the treasure
of God are lodged the dismissed answer’s truth.
Therein is found the true solution of hope,
the reason for life and meaning, and for joy.
Of all Creation’s things, humanity’s scope
on life's stage was not meant as Fate's play-toy.
So, if this good news has been overflowing,
then despair let man now be overthrowing!
