Two Choices

We are graced to see days
As liberals with a choice of ways
To strike it rich
Just to keep ourselves out of reach
Or to earn honor among brethren
Inheritable by our children

For our way of life will earn
The future we would loath or yearn
For in us, the power abounds
To cause our desired turnarounds
Build up brick by brick
And thread by thread yarn the fabric

All ways lead towards
But choose that that leads to best regards
Trusting in values and moral stands
And not in fortunes that change hands
And be in that place of rest
Where a sound mind is at its best

I enjoy your message here. I think sometimes the choices are not as clear as they appear!! And sometimes what one side feels is the only "right" does not seem that way to another. Anyway, I do hope true "good" will win out in the end.
