JUST ONE THING

JUST ONE THING Perhaps I should just believe in fate Whatever is due to happen, let it be Or is that being weak and submissive Ignoring the future is to be dismissive So maybe merely shrug, as it’s destiny And the only thing one does, is wait There are actions that one could take That may change the course of history Such choices always so full of tensions As the future splits in two dimensions One is known, the other is a mystery It leaves one with a decision to make For me, I cannot choose just one thing Each change made, triggers yet another Maybe limiting changes to one’s own life Suspecting that it may bring joy or strife And would the world we know, recover Fearing what an intervention may bring Would I press the nuclear button or not Stand for election, to change the world Or make a podcast that makes the news Quoting some potentially upsetting views Burn the national flag or leave it unfurled Knowing every sentence ends with a dot
