The Freedom of Choice

The Freedom of Choice is our duty and our strength.

The Freedom of Choice

Let us not give away our freedom of choice to anyone
If need be, let us neutralize our selfishness
Our duty towards ourselves dictates
That we admit to our shortcomings, weaknesses and errors.

It is never too late to change direction,
Or to review our decisions and modify them 
Disregarding our pride.

Would it be wise to cross the desert with a sick camel? 
There is too much at stake.
This also holds true when we realize
That our choices and decisions do not rest on a solid foundation.

Any work which has been started
Must be finished under the best conditions
Without regard to the remuneration

Each event has its time,
And there is a time for everything.
We have an obligation to fulfill our duty,
However unimportant it may seem. 

No matter how easy or how difficult our work may be,
It involves accountability, dictated by our conscience. 
Money assumes a secondary role;
Our capability will clearly become apparent.

I know this isn't the real point of the poem, but it made me think of my daughter...who rarely feels she should be accountable for her choices. She made some not so good choices the other day and then proceeded to tell me that she knew she needed to change her actions, but was unwilling to do so with help from us because she wants to do it alone...Don't worry...the logic made no sense to me either... hee, hee... Anyway...The important thing to me is that when we realize our choices are hurting us, we need to realize it is okay to make a change and choose a better path...unlike what my daughter believes... Sigh... Does parenting ever get easier??

Good points, yes. Freedom and responsibility are, I believe, two sides of the same coin. True too, there is a time for everything, a time to build, a time to take down, a time to gather and a .....well you know how it goes."King David" I enjoyed the poem and its message.

Money is not everything says the billionaire, Justice can justify the means to attain it says the dictator...and so on. They made their choices as we made ours, to work and tend our family, to respect our neighbors, to elect our dictators? what kind of choice is that? oh! you mean we should have removed the wool covering our eyes?
Well, to tell you the truth...THEY told me we had not choice.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
