Choices

We are left with choices
We see them
We take them
We make them

We complain about them
We think of them
We learn from them

They are in your power
They are in your life
They are part of you

We are the creators of them
We are the founders of this happening 
But yet we still complain

They have might
They have power
They have control

But you have might
You have power
You have control

Over them

Johannes, yes because it is not falling into the water that kills a man, it is staying there. There really is no blame, just consequenses.
