Choices

To see or to look?
To hear or to listen?
Of which is a choice
Of luxury in our nation.
But to know or to learn?
To think or to ponder?
Of which is your choice
To use or to squander
the gift of selection,
be it order or election,
is a gift of which
one  must consider
to be of importance
or forever be withered.
