Make a Choice

A choice is sometimes hard to make even when we know it’s what’s right.

Our time has come to make a choice.

What would you say if you had a voice?

A house divided will not stand.

Free of garbage we will demand.

Parasites are in control.

Creating this hellhole.

Feeding off the host

Until there is nothing left.

In oblivion, we fall..

Stunned and bereft.

Masticating at our souls, erased.

Until we are passed as waste.

This has gone on for far too long,

Accepting what we know is wrong.

History doesn’t repeat,

But it sure does rhyme.

Please pray.. this is the last time.

A revolution in thought

Will bring about change.

The way we live now,

Will later seem strange.

To our children and grandchildren

We must not forget.

In every choice we make

We pass on our debt.

Very profound. You speak a lot of truths in this poem

Habits take effort to change. When it’s a group there must be reminders and encouragement coming from persons within the group that keep the momentum going. Excellent poem.

I like the poem. In making a choice, always choose the right one even if you are only alone in that decision.

I am with you brother J! LIVE GREEN!!! if we all start now, in 10 years we’ll only generate half of the waste we do now!

People today are not being taught that. They are being taught to put the blame on anyone and everyone else father than themselves. We need to start remember that we control what happens to us by the choices we make and our responses to those choices.

another great work from the great mind! quite a thought there, pretty serious stuff! what choice did you made then? =)
Joseph Scott on Sep 23, 2010
Thanks mysocalledlife! I choose to not be ignorant of the world’s problems.. I wish I could do more to help solve those problems but I think making others aware of them does help..

Well said like a grown up man. “In every choice we make, we pass on our debt.” We adults really have a great responsibility in our hands.
livemike on Sep 29, 2010
Now that’s a great poem!! I agree with it all and more..We are leaving a terrible mess for our children but so did our ancestors before us..only difference now is that we are are developing a conscience as we go and so will our children..It is very difficult to watch the world fall apart and being powerless to do anything..

Beautifully penned!!…. You have done an awesome job on this poem!.. ^^
Joseph Scott on Sep 30, 2010
Thank you very much Likha, Mike and Sasuke!
Agreed Mike, it’s very hard to watch things falling apart while some (if not most) have their heads in the sand (or somewhere else!!)
Thanks again everyone!
