The Choice
I came to a fork
In the one road I knew
A fork unlike others
I had already been through
On each pathway
Stood a strange being
I blinked, rubbing my eyes
Unsure of what I was seeing
I then heard a voice,
Like it came from within,
"How do you know
What is pure and what is sin?
How do you choose?
Are you swayed by the season?
Or are you guided by them,
By belif and by reason?"
Looking ahead of me
Through my internal mayhem
I saw my two guides
Who once worked in tandem
And I began to wonder:
"By whose law do I abide?"
As I thought, so continued
That voice spoke from inside
"In one road stands reason,
And the other, belif
And in this choice
One is your aide, the other a theif."
"So who do I choose?"
I shouted to implore
But that little voice
Left me alone as before
I looked to faith, standing right
Warm and light up ahead
She offered many answers
But claimed knowledge was too much for my head
I stared at reason, standing left
Crisp, clear, and easy to follow
But he offered no definates
Only peices to borrow
So there I stood
Trying to make my thoughts clear
Two full years later
And I still standing here
Just me trying to understand life/having an existential crisis.
