You Decide Poems

You decide

Remember when we were children?
We thought water flowed endlessly, and the leaves
never died.

At the playground, the sand was eternal. We would dig
to the very last grain until spring turned into fall.

Friendship lasted forever, every day
a new endeavor

We played until the sun met the earth, and
laughed until we didn't feel alone

Oh my, why does yesterday feel

Modern Woman You Decide

Have you ever noticed that beautiful woman,
the one who’s been single for years?
In this world where connection is at our fingertips,
where voices ping and echo across social feeds,
still, she stands alone.

It begs the question, doesn’t it?
Why? How? Who and where?
As if throwing a penny in the air and wondering
Would anybody care?

Maybe it's a choice.
Some women

If you decide to get a cobra
Better make it one who is black said Mrs. Minty.
We have a pet cobra that is white
She is prolific, her babies number twenty

I was horrified, for snakes are not my favorite things
I cannot imagine choosing to be with them.
And yet here was Mrs. Minty, whose praises many sing.
Who thinks

~ You  Decide  ~
 ( Monchielle )



~O~


You decide what to be 
Good or bad you're to choose 
You serve God or Devil 
There's no way in between 
You'll be fine or ill. 

~o~ 

You decide what to be 
Two masters you can't serve 
Hope you opt for what's right 
Do what you know

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

You Decide

Yesteryear our forefathers 
Declared their Independence
They fought for freedom 
They built a nation
They etched out a life
They considered the greater good

Today, we demand our way
We deserve what we want
We destroy what is in our way
We expect life to bend to our will
We want what’s best for us.

Tomorrow is a new day
Which legacy do you want
Togetherness

You Decide

When you look at the present
What do you see
Is it the image you built 
You portrayed it to be

When you look at your past
What do you feel
Is it an uplifting beat 
Or is it a pain too real

When you look at your future 
What do you want
Is it a positive image 
Or will you let

Why Did You Decide So

Another day full of questions my son.
You decided to wake up late.
While you knew you the nation needs you.
Here you are just confused where to start.
Why did you decide so?

I just heard rumors you have a kid in the hills.
We have had many conversations about marriage.
Where is my daughter-in-law?
Where is my grandson?
Why did you decide

Just When You Decide

The barrier is broken 
And the captive is pardoned.

The stainless blood is shed
And there’s no more a tear.

He was bruised
That we may be healed.

In our darkest and deepest despair
The Master’s love quenches all senses of fear.

Thanks to the Prince
We are no more slaves to sin.

Because of His peace
We can finally be at ease.

The battle is

Some Say
“Life happens… When you have other things planned”
or
“You’ll find true love… Usually when you’re not looking”

Some Believe
“Our lives are influenced by fate and karma”
or
“The alignment of the stars represents our true personalities”

You Decide
Are our lives already pre-determined?
or
Is life what we make of it, through the options we have chosen?

You Decide

Beautiful I say
You’re beautiful
He laughs like moonlight on 
Water,
Flashes those dark green eyes,
Reminding me of cave walls I’d love to
Get lost in
My darling,
You scream of adventure and home.

Beautiful,
Just beautiful
I whisper from the other side of a 
Camera lense
Who would’ve thought
The collision of this day and the next
Would set the horizon on fire.

She paints words across
