And If It Is, Pray Tell Me

Is life just an act,

Full of joy and doubt?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which scene shall I act out?

Is life just a battle,

That is fought within?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which side of me shall win?

Is life just a pretend,

Different masks worn on our face?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which mask then shall I grace?

Is life just a struggle,

That is constantly won and lost?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which opposite shall pay the cost?

Is life just a desire,

Comprised of passion and hate?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which love shall I relate?

Is life just a game,

Played by dumbness and wit?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which way shall I concur it?

Is life just a grouping,

Of the accepted social norm?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which lifestyle shall I conform?

Is life just an adventure,

To be explored or left alone?

And if it is, pray tell me?

Which destiny shall be my own?

Is life just an endless question,

To be answered or answered not?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which side shall be forgot?

Is life just a religion,

That will either damn or save my soul?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which direction shall I go?

Is life just a decision,

Where you choose to live or die?

And if it is, pray tell me,

Which path shall then choose I?
