The Crossroads
And the boy said:
Decisions, decisions
Should I spend my life in quiet contemplation?
Or should I take up the mantle and help my nation?
This crossroads full of blessed complexities;
Life’s greatest decision perpetually perplexes me.
Glory and Duty
Or awareness and contentment
The wrong choice will surely lead to resentment.
A sculptor of the soul
Or a manager of the masses
A canvas left unpainted
Pure and innocent, a virgin untainted
Decisions, decisions
Tread lightly for there are no room for revisions.
