This is life.
The choice set before us.
The sun or the dark of night.
Optimism or pessimism.
Good or evil.
The darkness taunts us.
It’s too easy to succumb to it.
Fight the greedy devil.
The choice is yours to make.
Too often, there are deaths.
Too often, there are murders.
Too often, we stop and stare.
Too often, people look away.
Sad, but true.
Human nature possesses an evil side,
which tempts us each day.
Its flipside offers us a way to achieve
purer thoughts and good deeds.
Which path will lead to a better world?
Too often, we make the wrong choice.
NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
This is not the yellow brick road
leading to fantasies.
This is the road
determined by your choices.
You must chart its course
and deal with the twists and turns.
A ride of a lifetime
to be dealt with wisely.
Upside down.
Nothing makes sense.
The evil succeed.
The good ones fail.
Life is for evil ones.
Dying is for the good.
If I turn my head upside down,
Will it finally make sense?
Are we victims of our own insecurities?
Our fears define us.
They limit us.
They push us onto the safest path.
The path with the least resistance.
We need to break free.
Shrug off our fears
And pursue life to the fullest.
The evil lies within.
Each of us has the voice.
The voice enticing us to be bad.
It offers suggestions for revenge.
Immoral ways to succeed.
It never sleeps.
It appears in our nightmares.
Forever ready to lead us
down dark pathways.
Always on the hunt for
new followers.
We don’t have to feed it.
But let it starve.
The door.
Open it.
Step inside.
You might find paradise,
or death might be waiting.
You’ll never know
unless you open the door.
NOT THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
This is not the yellow brick road
that will lead you to fantasies.
This is the road of reality
that is determined by your choices.
Its course is charted by you.
Take care of the twists and turns.
It’s a ride of a lifetime.
A candy store of fun.
Which one to choose?
Yellow or red?
Maybe a binding of white?
No choice can be bad.
A path is only as hard
as you allow it to be.
Take steady steps.
Never look back.
Never quit.
Face forward.
Back straight.
Walk forward.
Not only will you make it far
but you will have followers.
