Notes About The Poem

All of us have sat around a time or two and thought, or discussed, how we could have done something better than someone else. We all have the choice and freedom to do just that. We can choose for ourselves or we can take what others choose for us.

The Chosen Ones

The Chosen Ones
By Franklin Price
1/21/2017

The chosen ones
Are nothing new
They take the reins
In all we do

They guide the way
Not always fun
Not all can be
A chosen one

The job's not easy
If it were
Why would unchosen
Ones defer?

Throw up their hands
Say, “We are done.
Please save us now,
Oh chosen one.”

The chosen ones
Cannot neglect
Their actions
Have the most effect

They make decisions
day to day
The chosen ones
Show all the way

They make the choices
That you see
The chosen ones
Make history



To sit alone and disagree
With what the chosen ones have done
Does none of us a bit of good
Become yourself a Chosen One

What you so eloquently said is, "put up or shut up:) We must let history run it's course. Enjoyable read, Franklin.
