Freedom of Choice

FREEDOM OF CHOICE The greater blessing is the power of choice Not gifts nor riches any way compare With having your own mind, to give it voice See then your many options and rejoice That You may wander here and venture there The greater blessing is the power of choice Prefer the active to the passive voice And you will find the strength to counter care With having your own mind to give it voice The slave may drink from cup of gold alloys And sleep in sheets of silk and satin rare The greater blessing is the power of choice Beware free handouts for they may invoice With lost volition, thus they will impair The having your own mind to give it voice Fulfil your obligations, then rejoice Though poverty may seem a threat to bear The greater blessing is the power of choice With having your own mind to give it voice
