You Decide

You can’t progress 
Eyes can see it  
Your eyes show as clear as day 
You learned the art of taking advantage of others 
Maybe consciously maybe unconsciously 
Either way you learned it from another that did the same to you
And now you can’t shut it off 
Your addicted 
The question is 
Do you want to love 
Do you have the abilty to love 
Do you have the ability to grow into something further 
Something that can progress this world not destroy it
As some have so brilliantly showed in history thus far
After what has been done
Can you beat it 
Or is it something that is going to consume you
You have to acknowledge it for what it is 
Its not your fault that you learned it 
But it is your fault if you recognize it within yourself and you decide to use it for power 
For coercion, for seduction
You will never feel fulfilled 
Quite the opposite 
And in the end 
Its only you that will suffer 
You have to realize that by now 
Because if you don’t 
I fear that you may not see the end of your story 
Because you simply don’t want to or you are too stubborn to see
But the end is clear 
Now it is time for you to choose 
You decide
