HAMLET 1984

To be .... or to be like
Dot.. dot.. dot..dot.. dot?
That is is the answer!
Fill in your own stereotype
Pop screen or TV star
Politican.. painter.. protester
Preacher.. poet.. martyr
Tyrant or millionaire.

These are actors as I foretold you
For we are locked in seeming now
Fervently praying we Are
To God-knows-who
To die, to sleep, please not to dream,
We'll settle grateful for Oblivion.

But to Be...... surely to Be?
But who?........ Why you
Not I-but You...... That's wo
What you?........ find out
Fill in... fill up You.

You will have to listen to silence
Until it speaks. Learn again
To be suprised by a mere feeling
Coax nurture this seed of nothing seeming
Water with every drop of possibility
That's in You. Some will be tears,
But tend and it will grow
Into a bloom
Of meaning shining:
The rest is no longer silence.
