We Make These Choices! Poem by Eric Cockrell
We Make These Choices!
who makes the choices
that change the world?
that decide who eats,
who has shelter,
who has medical care?
the choices...
whether or not to bomb,
whether to pull the trigger.
whether to see that justice is done,
or to turn the head,
and walk away...
whether to accept
people for who they are,
and what they are...
whether to stand up
for the other person's rights,
the other person's beliefs,
the other person's way of life...
whether to walk in dignity,
and respect,
or to take at all costs.
we make these choices,
each of us every moment
of every day.
what we do or dont do,
say or dont say,
give or dont give,
changes the world!
actions and inaction,
hidden thoughts and feelings,
who we vote for,
and whether we vote...
whether we're willing
to share what we have...
we change the world,
moment by moment...
for better, or worse?

Yeah...the choices is ours....but it is so sad that most human has been born and breed in a system that forces them to sacrifice their individuality for the so called common good of all without his consent...in other words Government....now i hear of Democracy...the rule of the people by the people..and all i can say is a system of control..where the ordinary individual is made to think he actually contributes to the governing of the nation...its all smoke screen...every four years you come to cast ur one vote and after that your voice is drown in the interest of the nation for another four years...i say thats rubbish and its not democracy...you only gave one man power over you, your shelter, your clothing, your feeding, your health and your life for four years, without much supervision on your part....no thats not democracy...+
