Life is a Stage
December 10, 2022
Life is a stage
Shakespeare had said
Freedom—no cage
Some are heavy with burdened sacks
Filled with money
Some are light with tattered clothes
Coins—not many
Life is a stage
Shakespeare had said
Characters—no one a fake
Some are the bystanders
Some are the protestors
Some are the leaders
Some are the thinkers
Some are the ones
Who give all they have
And all they are left
Is the contentment
Of giving
Life is a stage
When curtains never drop
There is never an ending
Only a new beginning
