Ours Is the Choice

Ours is the Choice


A land of hopes,
A land of fears,
A land of laughter,
A land of tears,

A land of love,
A land of hate,
A land of doubt,
A land of faith,

A land of joy,
A land of sadness,
A land of logic,
A land of madness,

A land of shame,
A land of honor,
A land of delight,
A land of horror,

A land of frankness,
A land of duplicity,
A land of justice,
A land of iniquity,

A land of light,
A land of darkness,
A land of wisdom,
A land of rashness,

A land of realities,
A land of dreams,
A land of philosophies,
A land of schemes,

A land of work,
A land of leisure,
A land of pain,
A land of pleasure,

A land of purity,
A land of dirt,
A land of life,
A land of death,

That is our world where we:
Live, work and fantasize,
It is up to us to make it,
Hell or Paradise!

It's our choice... but, unfortunately, too many can profit from the wrong choice... Terry (good poem)
