When I was young and yet naïve
I was overly concerned
With mystic beliefs!
And so...
Given into corruption
Has never come easy,
Without a dopamine release
Oh yes...
I know you know.
Ya just got to take it slow
And...
Filter such things
Deep within your immortal soul
Freewill
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of playthings, we dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive
The stars aren't aligned or the Gods are malign, blame is better to give than receive
There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them they weren't born in Lotus Land
All preordained, a prisoner in chains, a victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face, you can pray for a place, in heaven's unearthly estate
Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends with uncertain ends on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can ****
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill
