It is compulsory for one to experience fear;
To understand, and obtain courage my dear.
Mandatory for one to experience doubt;
To comprehend confidence taught by the devout.
Firsthand knowledge of senseless death;
To cognitively appreciate life like Macbeth..
While desperation and despair are obligatory;
For those who ponder the promise of oratory.
Fly me to the moon ~ on a beam of Chardonnay~
Twirling us under the effervescence ~ of the Milky Way ~
First rule of life is to do as one so promises;
Lest your friends sense of you like doubting Thomas’s.
For in life ~ each person’s word ~ is their personal bond;
Such is the way all hearts and souls correspond.
For if one cannot abide by this first rule of life;
They’ll simply discover their hearts torn by strife.
And when they realize what their actions have wrought;
Their hearts stutter the cursed hymn of naught.
Walk with me on moonlit path ~ towards storm’s early warning~
For neither the fireflies nor I ~ shall be with you in the morning ~
Fini

Coolness
I hate rhyming...but...you have some groovy ass rhymes here.
e.g. doubt & devout
death & Macbeth...<--the cleverest rhyme of all...I remember in gr. 6, the teacher attempted to explain Macbeth to the dumb asses we were...LoL...death is a heavy theme in Macbeth.
Good luck
