Hamlet's modern-day speech

Is it better to live or die
Whether it is better to suffer
The troubles through life
Or put them to an end.
Dying, spleeping, its all dying is.
A sleep that ends heartaches and
Shocks life gives us. It is an
Achievement to wish for.
To die, to sleep, to sleep
Possibly to dream. Ah, btu there's a catch.
In death's sleep, what do you dream of
When we've put everything behind us?
We must think about this.
To consider what streches out our life.
Who would put up with humiliations,
The torture from higher class men,
Insults, rudeness from people in office,
mistreatment of others, when you
could just kill yourself? Who
Would want to go through the pain and
Sweat of an exhausting life, unless they
Were afraid of something worse than
Death, the undiscovered land of no
Return, which we wonder about and
Never get an answer, and to keep with
The evils we know and stay away from
The one's we don't? Fear and death
Make us all cowards, and our bodies
Weak by thinking too much. The actions
That should be done quickly get sidetracked,
And these actions soon become forgotten.
