Shakespeare`s TO BE OR NOT TO BE is a universe of choices
\nto be or not to be experienced-expressed by a myriad human voices<\/p>\n
In a world of contrasts we live
\nOpposite meanings to LIFE we give<\/p>\n
Beyond TO BE OR NOT TO BE ?
\nTo see or not to see<\/p>\n
Beyond to play or not to play ?
\nTo pray or not to play<\/p>\n
Beyond to say or not to say?
\nTo stay or not to stay<\/p>\n
Beyond to kill or not to kill ?
\nTo will or not to will<\/p>\n
Beyond to fight or not to fight ?
\nTo right or not to right
\nWhen Shakespeare says TO BE OR NOT TO BE
\nHe challenges Humankind to sail the deepest sea<\/p>\n
TO BE OR NOT TO BE<\/p>\n
TO BE KILLING FREE OR NOT KILLING FREE ?<\/p>\n
This is the ultimate life-supporting choice for you and me<\/p>\n
TO BE OR NOT TO BE Killing free<\/p>\n
Killing free let`s always be !<\/p>\n
In Shakespeare`s extraordinary TO BE OR NOT TO BE<\/p>\n
is implicit a universe of choices for all human beings to see<\/p>\n
In a spirit of shared global citizenship let\u00b4s sail the also nonkilling<\/p>\n
Shakespearean sea!
