Decisions

Decisions If love is a decision Then hate must be one too So I must decide to love or hate And I must know what and who This suddenly sounds funny I never would have thought I must admit I didn’t know And really, I feel caught I thought that love came naturally No intervention needed I thought that hate was often times By hateful deeds preceded But come to think of it I see And much to my dismay If I decide to love or hate I can’t just have my way The consequences good or bad Are all part of the game So I need to use discernment On account of my good name 'Cause feelings do have power They will take over the mind They’ll keep on trying to persuade And they’re not always kind So it’s best to be decisive Yes, it’s best to take a stand One can’t afford to let things slide You shouldn’t say ’I can’t’ ’Cause what you sow you soon will reap The same with love or hate But if you do it consciously You need not be afraid.
