To Choose
What to do
When the task is completed
Where to go
When the destination has been reached
Misguided slight of hand
Surrenders fragile essence
How to breathe
When the air dissolves to ash
Speechless
And refusing to hear
Whom to love
When the mind eats the heart
The lamb falls victim
To the lust of the lion
How to judge
The confused paradox of a single decision
How to weigh
The eternal against the vain
How to see
When God puts out the light
How to speak
And not hear your own voice
What to choose
Consume the lie
Or starve for the truth
