Hamlet looks at our hamlet!

Poem by Marge Kimpton
40B or not 40B- that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler for the town to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous state laws
Or take action against a sea of troubles
And by opposing, end them. Or, to drowse, to sleep-
No more- and by denial think we end
The heartaches and the natural shocks
Such growth is heir to- ‘tis a conclusion
Greatly to be wished. To deny, to sleep-
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that denial what contractors may come
While we refuse to face reality
Might give us pause….
Thus conscience should make activists of us all…
And with enterprises of great vision and moment
In this regard foul currents turn away
And seek alternative solutions.
(Marge offers her usual apologies to the original author)
