Choices

When we stop choosing, the room will be empty

It’s only when the mind is full, it gets testy

Empty walls can turn into mirrors

That clearly reflect all our errors

We can run away, but not forever

From ties that we cannot easily sever

Asleep or awake, we are responsible

For the identity created, it is highly portable

Choices create a fork in the road

There is a bottleneck at that crossroad

Caused by the mind, borrowing time to calculate

Loss or gain that each choice may create

Choosing is a past time we can do without

That’s a sure way to reduce the mind’s clout

Life creates choices, they aren’t the only gears

Being neutral we empty the mind of pairs
