A Sonnet for #trafchallenge

I like to use a sonnet when I write,
Pond'ring shows on t.v. that I love.
The drama makes the happiness so bright
I feel no need of Shakespeare's worth to prove.

He spoke to all with tales already known
To see the strength of man even today,
New industry, of course, our lives have grown,
But even so our roots still hold their sway.

Through Shakespeare's plays we have a glimpse inside
The past, the future of this mortal coil,
Our lives are bound together on this ride,
We see ourselves in heroes and their foils.

And we traverse to ken humanity,
By asking all to be or not to be.
