The Choice

We all held each other, laughing and cheering, Jumping and smiling, with out a care in the world. We were the guards to a gateway of extravaganza A fun filled oasis, a chance to grow, a chance to develop. We were the hub of life its self ;things were just well and overwhelmingly swell Soon we lost our humility and gained vanity further building a path for instability We had a chance to own our future but we chose to give it up It all started when they came. A blessing and a curse looking for acceptance amongst us. Her eyes blinded us, her poise lured us and her smile mesmerized us. We felt he! wasn't up to our standard, he didn't have the class, he wasn't cut out We chased him away, rejected him like an orphan child whose best friend is social isolation. Without any loving sensation. This was clearly the end of our nation. She told us 'a world is better when we think of our self'. 'Think of you and nobody else'. And so a seed was sown An action was reaped The action was sown A habit was reaped The habit was sown An Identity was reaped The great plan of our defeat is still in motion but a generation has dared to ask the question "where is he?" The instigator of a strong foundation The builder of a prosperous nation He had a longer but better plan One of creative utilization and adequate projection. But Instead we tuned our minds to her frequency to see what only she sees She is willing to give us a short cut at any cost Forfeit her dignity to give us all kinds of credibility We were driven with lust But at what cost. Now it is clear, Our eyes are opened Now our heart aches, we have lost more than we can attain Our bonds with her we must break , even if defeat is certain What we need now is a believer A tough minded optimist A bringer of hope A lover of peace Someone who can turn our direction around One with a frown that is always upside down. One we know is clearly fit for the crown Go, flee, find him today and save us now.
