Shakespeare says, "The world is a stage..."
But who gave me this play that has no page?
We are the playwright of our play.
God has given us the light for the way.
"Action!" Our feet stand on the theater,
Ready to perform, use all strength to do better.
The judge is sitting at the auditorium top.
Millions of mouths jazz for the artist of pop.
Their echoes can trick a lofty heart to fail.
But the dressed player will not be the tail.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s iconic line — “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players” — this poem explores the tension between divine purpose and personal responsibility.
We are not just actors in life’s drama; we are the playwrights of our own story. With God as the light and judge, and the world as our audience, this piece challenges us to step boldly into our role, write our script with intention, and perform with courage.
A poetic call to action for anyone who feels lost in the noise — reminding us that the stage is ours, and the script must be written before the curtain falls.
