Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 4- Choices
Hardened choices are all for the making
Happen often to keep us from breaking
Sometimes our life forces them upon us
With no karmic care for causing great fuss
Like doomed roses that bloom out of season
Some choices are made for no good reason
I see the lacking in these all the time
Like a wanting verse that could use a rhyme
The words are written and the die is cast
But over hard times will said meanings last
It’s an easy choice to drink the Kool-Aid
Or not accepting the glitter may fade
Much as I can, I’ll keep making my own
Let others deal with the seeds they have sown
What integrity is in ignorance?
To blindly channel the puppeteer’s dance
A choice is often made with intention
Whether for changing or for prevention
And then there are some we make on a whim
Not really caring the stakes can be grim
Some have been good, and some have been bad
And some end up making me oh so sad
Yet I do own them all, such as they are
It is a wonder I’ve made it this far
The sum of us lies in choices we make
It all comes down to the chances we take
Another day that’s demanding a choice
Say naught to wrong, or give my soul a voice
