Tug of War

Life is a tug of war,
Between right and wrong,
Justice and injustice,
Truthfulness and falsehood,
In life's trying pathways,
We are faced with the choice,
Between two contrasting options,
We should have the courage,
To choose one of them,
That can fit into our mindset,
To lead a victorious  life,
In the tug of war that is life,
Amidst the conflicting forces,
That confront modern livelihood.
