No Guarantee

I wrote this about Hamlet.  It's a Villanelle.

Suicide may make man free,

But suicide has no provision. 

With death, there is no guarantee.

Each man is chained, to some degree:

Chained in his life -- the sweetest prison,

But suicide may make man free.

How can man not help but flee

When natural shocks impede his vision?

With death, there is no guarantee.

Man asks, "To be or not to be?"

This is his ultimate decision.

And suicide may make man free.

But what of things we cannot see?

Beyond the grave, will we be risen?

With death, there is no guarantee.

Thus man from life must never flee.

Thus ends man's constant indecision.

For suicide may make men free,

But with death, there is no guarantee.
