The Choice Is ours Tony Robin Bulley 17April 2004 ©

I sometimes wonder if we really care
Or just pretend and gaze with vacant stare
At all the death and pain in this life
Is it not our concern for others strife
Or do we feel we want to shout and cry
but in the end just walk on by
For their grief may be our day of regret
For what we left behind we cannot forget
Nor if we close our eyes and sit and pray
Without change today will be yesterday
Have we really become void and cold
Ignoring life just growing old
And if we stand and never say a word
What change will come for no one heard
And when we die and look back as we go
Will we be satisfied with what we know
That one small voice can become a swell
Creating paradise where once was h***
This poem about life really and the choices we can make to change things. Often we see things we don’t like or that we think are not good for the world we live in, but rather than speak out for change we say nothing, or think maybe someone else will do it. Not realizing that if we were to take action then others would be aware and join in and hopefully things would change for the good. Often we think well who is going to pay attention, but although we may not be aware at the time, our very outpouring will sow seeds, and those seeds will grow, it may be only one or two to start but eventually if you shout loud and long enough people will pay attention especially if its something really important concerning us all. I hope this poem is thought provoking, it gives us choices in life, things we can act upon, things we can change for the better of all mankind, and above all this is love hope and charity choices well worth having.
