Day 22: How I Choose It

After strife,

Comes the extreme excesses of bitterness,

The metamorphosis of trife.

Hasty lopsided eagerness

To undefined idolized individual dignities.

Men seeking the substance in vanities

Trip over blinding signs of reality.

Why chase after fakes

When you can claim the original with a legal ticket?

It’s like fighting over lakes,

Or blindly trading thickets

For greenwood fir trees,

When you can easily pick a forest or sail the seven seas;

Keeping your head up is not an option.

Actually, it’s the only right decision.

So if I’m gonna make it,

I’m gonna make it how I choose it
