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 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.
