given a choice

by Antwan Fields - Aries

given a choice between right and wrong
another choice between weak or strong
a choice between straight or gay
to die or live another day
to give life or take life
to stay healthy or go under the knife
to listen to your mother who rules your life
to stay as his girlfriend or go as his wife
to listen to one and disregard the other
to play with your sister or stay with your brother
to love, to laugh, to move, to lie
to walk, to run, to crawl, to fly
the rain or the snow? the sleet or the hail?
to succeed at minor or at major to fail?
to go with the man or refuse and get hurt
because you were just too much of a flirt
to buy or sell, at risk, your livelyhood
at the very worst have no more than you could
to ride away into the sunset, maybe you can go
till stallone saves the girl at the end of the show
awake now! cross the street or stay
and should i go one or the other way
to buy: one can of paint and two pairs of shoes
given an honest choice
which one would you choose??

Reason for writing:

    we all have to make choices. the ones named above are but a few of them
