Choices Chose

Men and the way we choose To live our lives With honor and deeds Or mistrust and lies Do we surround ourselves with truth Build a foundation with roots Or claim the mantra With our misdeeds It’s only us we hurt Do we believe When we walk in another’s eye We’d best watch where we step Or merely tread Where only we can see Out there lie Many choices, many paths We can plant good seed Or live within our greed We can walk through mud And shed our blood To lend a helping hand Or we can walk around Ignore the cries of what’s right Shut our ears to the wrong Make the claim We stand on hallowed ground But when it ends And all comes down All men choose Where they stand It’s a choice we make Of our own Dependent on The heart within What it bleeds out When it comes face to face With choices made Along the path We choose to walk
