Decisions

Push ahead
Be strong and steady
The game is won beyond the rules
Power to the parasites

     Sacrifice
     Be kind and humble
     The good are trampled in the muck
     Abuse for our foundation

Turn inward
Take back and advance
Reward comes to those who avenge
Triumph in your fulfillment

     Look around
     Be hope and healing
     Comfort comes to those you support
     Rejoice in their revival

Rot away
Become the cancer
The selfish betray their own being
Horror in the mirrors

     Give away
     Share pain and sorrow
     The generous find hidden treasure
     Love reflected in faces

Yes, we do not want to be the selfish ones. Give away is a great message, Jim
