A Choice

Once we were united,

Now apart we all fall.

Claiming we are ready for anything,

When no one has a clue at all.

The debt we are willing to pay off,

versus the one came to collect,

Two very separate issues;

One should not forget.

So many are called crazy, for telling the truth

in the face of lies.

The truly craziest thing though,

is how many choose to die.

You kill yourself slowly,

whenever you do not love yourself.

The highest level being achieved,

more glorious than earthly wealth.

Danger will continue to be real

as well as fear remaining a choice;

One day it may be hard.

We can never lose our voice.
