Life: the Choice

Does the action or the person determine if a deed is good?
     Does the person do it because they want to or because they should?
What is good and what is bad?
     Bad is the best time you’ve ever had.
You are what you do, not what you say
     What you feel is lost along the way.
You give your toys and your green
     But your time is still yours
     So what does it all mean?
Good of the world overlooks the heart
     If you let the world determine your value
     You’ll be left parched.
So forget good, forget bad
     Bad’s not going anywhere and there are good times to be had.

There is no such thing as a wrong choice
     A decision is not right because it is good
     It is right because you have a voice.
