Far too often the choices reality proposes are such as to take away one's taste for choosing.

Crouching Creature
I am a Crouching Creature
bounded by Circumstance
and Choices I've made.
I pound against
the Circumstantial Wall
and I choose to bloody
my own fists against it all
but defiant
I will not relent
and measure this
as my commitment
to fight these chains.
Choosing in life
and family
in the world and my
career
is bounded by my iron Circumstances.
Where does my Circumstance live
and how can I circumvent
its boundaries?
Can I move?
Can I melt into some one's else's
Circumstance?
Will I in choosing
merely replicate
old choices
and old Circumstance?
I must I tell my self:
break away from me
and my choosing
to the extent
these choices make
my old and new
Circumstances endlessly repeating.
.
Yet, I hope somehow
with magical bent
to break that wall.
What do you think?
Will I succeed?

Making Those Choices To Do
Choices made are just the beginning,
For other choices to make.
Leaving an appetite to develop,
In a patience where choices sit to marinate
Procrastinating in hesitation,
Makes for the creating of excuses...
Easier to get nothing done to wait.
Like one who wishes for a taste of cake.
However, making those choices to do...
Does remove those excuses made done,
With no follow through.
And pursued as one's destination that comes.

Fearless smile
fearless smile
ooh! ! that wat i call a fearless smile
smiling with no ones similarities changing lanes meeting all these hardful hazards along the journey but the smile she possed is the fearless smile
choosing within cheerless choices they chose for her ensuring that her choices doesnts collide with the choices they chose for her
realising that her choices are realible along the journey but the
smile she possed is the fearless smile
confirming the unrealities occuring careless with no cafefully
turning side to side either slowly but surely confidently with pride
oooh yeah
the smile she possed is the fearless smile! ! ! ! !

Choose The Happiness
What the happiness is all about
Choices that comes across your life
Catch the right one and be aware
When your turn comes not to lose your way
Don't let it pass you by
Catch the happiness while it's around
This is what the happiness is all about
Choosing your path to the love
Dough it's ways are narrow and hard
This is what the love is all about
Choosing The way to happiness and faith
Or walking through the saddest path
Even in your darkest day
Smile and you'll find your way
To the light
This is what the life is all about
What the life is all about
Choosing the happiness or not
Regardless what your reason is
Just walk ahead and forget your fears
God is there at the end of the path
It depends how long you can survive
Sacrificing blindly for the love
This is what the love is all about

Choices
Are a form of grace
To have a choice
A voice,
is a privilege
Choices can
Change situations
The right choices
can uphold mankind
for thousands of generations
Choices

A vow for one to live by
There shall always be
difficult choices to make
inorder to survive
Therefore,
Choose wisely today
For tomorrow
Shall surely come and
The choices of today could
Makes all future matters

Some Things In Life Do Work
well, it will not be
totally true
that nothing
in this life
works
some still
do, in fact
the way
you handle
reality like
tools before
you: a screw
a hammer
a nail
some pieces
of wood
and some
glue
glued to
reality
hammer the nails
with the force
of your
determinations
you mean
things
and things
may mean
what they mean
when you
mean them
to mean
what they
must mean
feet rooted
to the ground
standing
when you
are right
bowing for
forgiveness
when sometimes
you are wrong
screw life
a little bit
loosen where
everything seems
too tight
and tighten
where there
are loose ends
it is a matter
of flexibility
salt to taste
sugar to sweeten
tea to a certain
hotness
or coffee
with a little cream
and then
watch
a movie
life, and death
funeral and weddings
and baptisms too
sleep or walk away
these are your choices
and in the ocean
of choices you
sail
on that boat
of responsibility
with no one to
blame
or praise
just you
and nothing but you
baby
the little soul
thrown
into the space
of sea
swimming sperm
finding the
right egg
till you are fully human
and fully alive

I'd like to do something a little different. Something a little less intense. I'm not sure what it's going to be yet. For the first time in my life, it's great to have choices, but I think I have to be very careful in choosing the right next project.

Making choices
Life is about making choices
Success flows from right choices
Doing the right things
Doing them always right
Producing a giant of yourself
Becoming what you want to become
The choices are yours to make
The consequences are yours to take
So make the right choices
Choices that bring success
Success that builds self-esteem
And yield life, fully fulfilling.

You Should Get More Involved
You should get more involved.
'In the doing of what? '
Well...
In the uh...er...uh...hmmm.
The...uh...
'I've already done that.
That's why I've stopped wasting my time.
Now I do something far more satisfying.'
That sounds interesting.
What is it that you do?
'I leave people looking for escapes,
From reality to charade delusions...
Alone.
I find it fits my personality.
And besides...
I got tired of debating on what side,
Of a nonaccepting of a reality I was on!
And the choices remained unchanged.'

Dreaming Hereafter
If i ask what would be most profoundest of dream
The answer would be imagining hereafter
The man himself is twice removed from reality
Due to the fallacy created by the charm of non-reality
Which is quite abysmal in taste devoid of scent
Like a scentless flower like a trashy substance in a basket
The buds can only bloom where where there is reality with meaning
Which is not the copy of copy to decode its meaning
That world is unimaginable with its frugality
And the fact is actually a factual reality

When The Ordinary Man Proposes Love To You
when the ordinary man proposes love to you
and you say no
for sure he does not insist
he quits
for gone was the time when he will promise you
the moon and the stars
no one will believe it anyway
for gone was the time when he kneels and
worships you like the queen of the night
honestly he has no time
for such a sentimental romance
you know very well
he cannot afford you even a brass ring
he simply has no money
he does not even have any work
neither can he find any
so if an ordinary man proposes
i love you
just say so if you love him so
for time is of the essence
and the cab is waiting
you are bound
eloping.

Of The Tea
People drink tea for many reasons:
One wants to feel the flavour of the tea,
Another wants to feel the taste of the milk,
And others want to feel the taste of the sugar!
Of the tea,
But with many reasons;
And this is the same like our lives on this earth,
But let us make the right choices always.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

Lamentable Decisions for a Vegan
While shopping,
I went to the bathroom, but
Before washing my hands, I
Found that their soap was
Scented by honey
And contained animal
By-products.
Now, I'm standing
In front of the sink,
Deliberating about
Which code of ethics
Is better for me to break
In the moment.
Choices, choices.
Why must I have these choices?

The Maze of Life
Onward through the maze of life
Each day forward we trek
Choosing which turn to take
Choices made, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Enduring our life in pleasures we seek
Engulfed in our own, private world
Slicing a way through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Choices made, yet with little thought
The impact on others, without inclination
No compassion, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Grasping for all we can gather
Clawing to enhance our fortunes
Monetary wealth, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Each soul, a world of one
Each world, a kingdom of its own
Wasted soul, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
No thoughts for the future,
Enjoying life, only for today,
, Future ignored, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Picking the apples, devouring the fruit
Filling our bellies today
Living for today, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of death
A choice not chosen, a choice not ours
To late for changes, no more choices
Souls in default, through the maze of death!
