Free Will# 1 Of A Young Man Poem by Tristian Ford

Free Will# 1 Of A Young Man



Free will is bold.
Free will is outta control.
Free will is in our minds.
Good or bad intentions,
Free will is a part of our souls,
No Matter where it goes.


The Mystery
We all choose and act differently.
Free will—Free will
is still our responsibility.

Some philosophers used their
Free will to rename it
‘determinism'
I used mine to read books.
Still Haven't found out how to train
my Free will to
Slow down my
metabolism
Jeffery used his to do
Cannibalism
The government is using theirs
to do
Capitalism
The Pastor, (every once in a while)
uses his to do
baptism.
I don't know how my
next-door neighbor is feeling.
He had a brain
aneurysm.


But this young man,
My Lil Cousin got
Life,
without the possibility of parole.
God bless his soul.
He still got his Free will,
He just won't be using it
to leave Prison.
He was only 25 years old
He used his free will to cry,
When he quit looking the Judge
He turned to look at his Mama,
in her eye.
Both of their Free wills musta been
Shell-Shocked cause
They never Said
good-bye.

Free will—Free will
He used his to kill
Now he gotta use that
Free will
To Live or To Take,
His own Life
down in Huntsville.


Free will, tell goodwill, to remind ill-will
That willpower still will out-will
If we all
don't chill and seek God's will.


We had rules,
commandments & statutes.
We were some sinful fools.
Then some moe fools,
Made some moe rules.
You got the right to choose
If we got to fight some fools
Die before we lose
the right to choose
Who you listen to.
It was given free to thee
But with thievery,
deceiving thee,
misleading you and me.

The Mystery
We all choose and act differently
Free will—Free will
is still
our Responsibility.

On second thought;
Maybe we should not fight,
That's right,
Don't fuss.

For the Lord is our Judge;
The Lord is our Lawgiver;
The Lord is our King;
He will Save Us.

Read His whole word—this is just one verb
He loves
justice.
Isaiah 61: 8
