No Choice Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living and dying throughout this earthly life, no choice in
the matter or circumstances we are each given, wonder and
curiosity taking us down avenues of desperate choices.

Never knowing what will happen from one moment to the next,
yet continuing to live as if the world of our existence will
never end.

Unknowing effects of what will come in time, maybe good cheer
maybe not, continuing to be with the ones we love or else dy-
ing and going into the darkness of death alone.

Again as when we were born into this world without any expect-
tations, taking whatever life handed to us, everything already
set in place.

Having no choices until growing and maturing, finding our way
through life, then on the last horizon finding that we've left
our lives behind, again without a choice at all!
