| Ben Jonson's question | |

literally. I steal lines form poems/stories and play and make them mine, this is one of them. Why will man lament the state he should envy? For heaven seems too far to reach when you're On the wrong side of the prophets To mourn the dead is one thing To wish to follow... Is fair. Why should we wait for the waves to grow sweet? Why must we forever live in fatal anticipation And then not be sure of what we waited for? 'Tis a mystery to me. Yet, still, why not celebrate what we have been "lent" and Dwell not on futures out of reach, For these days, are our days And we must live.
