you can stay on the bottom
or you can rise to the top
you can be the scum of the earth
or you can be the cream of the crop
you can speak up
or you can say nothing
you have the power to choose!
Words of truth, in poetic form. Dorsey, the title AND the theme of your poem are strikingly similar to two of my older poems, 'You Can Choose' and 'Voices and Choices' (the 2nd one having been written in the form of a dialogue between persons.) You may want to take a look at mine. There must be something in the air that causes poets on this site to come up with similar ideas! I never tend to suggest my poems to others, but in this case the likeness is remarkable.
