To have a choice at all is to be free - even when the choice is between two terrible things.

Freedom Of Choice
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
Just use your freedom of choice
Ill say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient rome there was a pawn
Who faught alone
And watched it fall
He cast a stone
He felt secure
He felt that hed never be hurt
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Give into the voice
You dont want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Dont be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
Ill say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
In ancient rome there was a pawn
Who faught alone
And watched it fall

He felt secure
He felt that his voice would never be heard
Freedom of choice

Freedom from choice!

Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice!
Is what you want
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Freedom from choice!

He went in circles
He dropped dead

Choice of life
Human have a gift named a choice
Human have an illusion named a choice
There is no other creature that should decide more to live
Human have a hope called a choice
Human have despair called a choice
There is no other creature that trapped often in such continuous and repeat conflict
Some could turn good because one choice
Some could turn bad because one choice
All have the consequence but right or wrong will never be known before
Human have a wish for a choice
Human have regret for a choice
There is no other creature that always goes between happiness and sorrow
When a choice made not all may be satisfied
When a choice made not all may be rescued
But the change will never happened if we stay silent
Human have fate to choose
Human also choose their fate
The interaction of those things will create what people called the choice of life

This Budget reflects a choice - not an easy choice, but the right choice. And when you think about it, the only choice. The choice to take the responsible, prudent path to fiscal stability, economic growth and opportunity.

Not At Peace
It will be unwise not to make choice
If so, then you will have no voice
Things may go from good to bad
Events may turn in disfavor to make you sad
Choice can’t be wrong
As they are not meant to be cheap song
They are to be made out of compulsion
Merely to stand fast against the confusion
You have choice when things are lying in abundance
You have all means to enjoy it at once
You are blessed with all fortune
Things move in favor with fine tune
The choice disappears as soon as time runs out
All worries and troubles may surface to worry about
You will be pushed in the corner to think seriously
The attack will be from all sides continuously
Choice is for the rich and not poor
They will be shunted from door to door
No one may land sympathetic ear
You may suffer endlessly for years
The sufferer may have no choice
As he has to surrender and fulfill the promises
That he will abide by all conditions
Suppress all views and no more ignitions
Only brave people can make choice
Rest all may die daily with threat of demise
They can do nothing amidst constant threat
The choice may be hardly considered great

We Have No Choice
A choice is your dream off wings.
It was never there.
Your choice has a shadow of your ego
It can never follow you.
We have no choice at all
Your choice is just a compromise.

Choice Voice
Ideas, ideals, freethinking underlined,
no negligence can know whenever they
allow free range where spirit well designed
marks space to catalyse choice chance which may -
if choice is choice not circumstance designed -
new windows open through which interplay
another to another insight wind,
make constant progress, interwoven play.
Infinite voice, choice opportunities
new ground may break, stake scope, whole soul hope frees.

Try 4 (A Happy)
In my mind happy is a choice
You either choose to be happy or
you choose to get by
A life of horror's ritual or
a simple joy's choice
All held by the type of smile of nature's will
Lonely has a hold
Life never travels right
Yet what always stands, is choice
Never too late, the choice to try
Also is the choice to be happy

Free will and Fear
Cupidity is a door before most...
Avarice is that host...
But greed is the ghost...
Ever wonder why you wanted...
Every good looking male or female?
For you ladies...
Having more then one sex partner...
Was considered taboo...
But for young men...
It was like being a boxer...
Win, win, win....
You the rooster...
She the the hen...
Women you have free-will...
And when you use it right or wrong...
you feel less then strong...
Guys when you use your free-will...
You rob, steal and kill...
for the thrill...
later becoming ill...
God gave us all the choice...
To use free-will...
But what good is free-will...
When it cause you to kill...
Have more then one sex partner...
Rape or mutilate another human...
Now take greed a known factor...
In choice of free-will...
Pride another factor...
The Jones another factor...
War, is there a choice in...
Free-will for the trooper...
Fear, not free-will...
A rape victim giving into the rapist...
Survival or free-will...
(The Feeling) ...
What is it about...
The feeling that makes free-will...
Different from what...
It's thought to BE...

The Choice
Were there a choice
Between you and my family
Mine will be ‘you’.
Were there a choice
Between you and my wealth
Mine will be ‘you’.
Were there a choice
Between you and beauties
Mine will be ‘you’.
Were there a choice
Between you and kingdom
Mine will be ‘you’.
That much you are dearer.
Could you be kinder?
Could you be a crusader?
Me, you arrested, shackled,
Captivated and at the end
Imprisoned for life.
Undo your sins
Before I sink

Am I Not Happy? ! ? ....
Why am I not happy?
Because.. The sun's not up?
But I have a choice:
- enjoy the clouds!
Why am I not happy?
Because.. I feel so lonely?
But I have a choice:
To call a friend and let the time go slowly..
Why am I not happy?
Because..I have no money?
But I have a choice:
-forget that I had any..
Why am I not happy?
because..I am in pain?
but I have a choice:
to count, wait-patience I'll gain..

A Beggar With Choice
Perturbed as they gazed whereas
Others peeped
Multitudes reconvened
Indescribably blown off
Off, by what they beseeched
Terrible in peril others talked
Onlookers vividly terrified
Bystanders stranded in thoughts
A beggar with choice I thought of
Surely, a beggar with choice
they had come across

Someone To Love
Everyone needs someone to love
and my choice has always been you.
I never have doubted my choice at all
and I don't know what I would do.
Without you to hold me
and keep me by your side,
without you to soothe me
every time I cried,
without you to listen
to all I confide,
without you to encourage me
and show me such pride.
These are the things that came to me
when my choice for love was you.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones
and somehow I always knew
that you were the one I needed to love.
I needed to love just you.

Damaged
.....I wish I had the choice
now you curse me-this is your will
Some eerie force makes me act
I wish I had the choice...
It is a voice I have to follow
A silent call comes from within
Sudden decisions,violent impulses
Abject emotions ,insane drives
I wish I had the choice
Now you beat me - that is you will
I'd love to stroke
Your baby-face
I'd love to hold you
In my arms
But there's little love
In my grip
My tender touch
Becomes your pain
I wish I had the choice...........
