Actors in A Stage?
In this life are we just actors
And is our world merely a stage?
Can we decide upon our own roles?
Or are we forced inside a cage?
In our lives do we play many parts
As stated by our Bard?
Should we show who we really are
Or put on a facade?
Is each day just a little story?
Where there exist many plots
And do we endure our curses
Like the Lady of Shalott?
So should we sail down the rivers
Of fate and destiny?
And so are our lives all written
Or are we all completely free?

Good questions Stuart.
We may be physically forced into a cage; but we often construct our own mental cages, through either prejudice, ignorance or fear, or a combination of all three...been there, seen it done it!
