Shall I, Shall I Not

At the waking of each morning We are faced with two options; to go back to sleep and dream our dreams or wake up to reality and chase our dreams It’s up to us to decide…shall I, shall I not Default in everyman is the desire for a brighter life Though the mind be stuck with the immediate Oh, that we may take an angle and see with the eagle eye Then will our vision pop up crystal clear But then, it’s up to us to decide…shall I, shall I not Between the mountain top and the valley low Lies an adventure with rugged edges To serve as a foothold or a scare bomb Shall I draw up strength from within and ascend Or shall I give in to the fear of the unknown and decline It’s up to me to decide… shall I, shall I not Down the lane of destiny Poses the ditches of our inadequacies Against the prowess of our valour Our subconscious awaits a command to function Again, it’s up to us to choose, shall I, shall I not Lurked within the human hardware Are programmed two indispensable soft wares The flesh that wars and seeks its gratification Against the spirit that seeks its sanctification Who gains a reign is solely dependent on my choice, your choice As the journey through life proceeds Will you for past failures regress? For present pressure intensity, repress Or against all odds, take giant strides to progress The choice is all yours’…. shall I, shall I not.
