Choice

Choice

Truth endures everyone’s cause,
Lives and suffers like us…
But neglects our greatest crime,
Our meaning of time.

 

Is time money?

Life’s race defeats time’s beauty,
The true essence of duty-
Years lived for humankind;
In selflessness, immortality you’ll find.

Who isn’t selfish?

The society determines what becomes wish,
The relativism of being selfish-
It teaches greed’s slavery and selfless’ freedom;
Foolishness amidst wisdom.

Choice. Choice! Choice?

Between yes and no,
We exercise the right to sow…
And when’s time to reap,
That choice makes many laugh or weep.

      Thanks man, wrote dis when I interacted with some M.A students of Philosophy at UNN; they changed d way I write. For me, writing is one thing, and the love of wisdom, another thing entirely. The synergy of both defines artistic eloquence.

    well, recently, time- that aspect of nature that prevents things from happening all at once, doesn’t quite seem to be working. However, choice becomes perhaps, the only determinant for disparity, and defines where we each stand on the divide.
    Well done 4ran6…

    Choice and freedom, together known as free-will is sometimes the most important. Nice one.
