All the World's a Stage!!



All the world's a stage!! Put up your best act
Each one of us has a role to play and enact

We are all actors, the director pulling strings
Never be confident of being kings or queens

Mankind always thinks, he controls his destiny
Its not so, against him the forces play  mutiny

Be careful of what you do to others
As it all comes back and bothers

Remember to act well, properly see
You never get a second chance to be

God has sent us all with a message
We are not here to stay, its a passage

Play your role not for the accolades
Be vocal and do not rely on charades

There have been many actors before us
Many more would come and move to dust
