Choices
Walking down a dirty and rocky path.
Head down, mind being overwhelmed,
With so many indecisive thoughts.
Walking slowly, trying to take all the time in the world.
Mind still working like a machine, you look up,
Your eyes open wide. Take a breath.
It seems like the clock has stopped ticking.
Time is paused like a game.
Look right. Look Left. Don’t bother looking ahead.
To the right you see an image of a free individual man.
Old yet wise and looking a far,
Staring at a lake glistening like crystals with evergreens surrounded.
At that picture perfect moment,
You gasp at the sight;
A lively free soul that mutually joins nature,
Like a stallion galloping wildly in a pasture.
This sight captivates your own soul.
It ignites a wild fire of excitement and amazement in your eyes.
Look Left. Look right. Don’t bother looking ahead.
To the left you seem to lose that flicker of grand emotion.
Your eyes cast downward at the dull image.
An image of people wearing the same clothes and doing the same thing.
A sooty valley of metallic and cold skyscrapers surrounds these people
Before your eyes flashes a glimpse of a prison cell.
No freedom and no individuality.
The thought of your spirit being trapped in that cell scares you.
Gaze starting to drift. Stop.
There’s no image in the middle.
Only two paths, two choices.
There is no escape route.
Choose.
Eyes still narrowed from the image on the left,
You look up trying to find a answer from the dreamy sky above.
You close your eyes and you feel the fresh air blowing from the right.
Mesmerized you head right, and move against the wind.
Walking down, head up, you’ve freed yourself, your soul.
Keep walking and never look back.
