To Buy or Not to Buy

[ this was written for willette 4th hour. we had to rewrite the To be or Not to Be speech from Hamlet by Shakespeare and make it our own. Here's mine. Please take your time to read]



To buy, or not to buy: that is the question:
Whether 'tis more stunning than a sparkling diamond
The delicate silks and dashing designs of Alberta Ferretti ,
Or take a walk down the promenade of Champs-Elysees,
And say no to this paramount? To shop: to drop;
Keep looking; and don’t stop
Once you find that perfect fit for you, keep heads turning
That unforgettable lust for eyes fixed
Devouring your every step. To shop, to drop;
To drop: dead at the sight of the amount you spent;
For maybe it’s the one thing thou put to rest those sleepless nights.
When we look back at the time that was wasted,
Pause the time, we were young. We were restless.
We made the days envious of the nights
For we got wasted away with time and money,
The lasting memories would be lost at dusk,
The camera captured our life off guard,
The last light glistened, but time did not freeze
That look on your face, that dress that you wore,
When you look in a mirror you wonder
With a smile and a shine why spend so much? One wants,
To remember those vibrant smiles
But you cannot, the nights have been captured but you have forgotten,
The dress that you wore and the songs that you danced
No one questions what time left untold,
And why we spent so much of our youth wasting time.
Than to tell that untold story, return that unworn dress?
Thus conscience does remind us all;
And thus the reality comes forth to show us light
Is the present’s just a pleasant interruption to the past,
And now we’ve arrived here, the present
With this curious change of speed and time,
And forgive yourself. – But don’t forget!
That unforgettable night! You are remarkable enough.
Be all youth unwind.
