Tell a Story Poem
Two Arrows
Two arrows,two fates ,one choice
The arrows directing me to different paths
The death of five or my love
The unreal moral dilemma is now my reality
I have to chose the train is coming
The train is headed towards the strangers
Strangers i wouldn't bat an eye to in public
Now something inside my heart tells me save them
On the left is my wife
The person i love and adore
When i propose that seemed to be our love’s hardest test
Then why does this test seem impossible to pass
The switch in front of me
The power is a overwhelming cure
The power of god at my fingertips
I can't decide
The arrows stare into my soul
Choking me forcing me to decide
Forcing me to murder i can't decide
My stomach knots up
My head dizzy
My body nauseous
I look at the stranger
I made my decision
Reveals a truth
Direction
The gift and burden of free will
One decision I'm forced to make
In any situation can influence my fate
Right or left it's just not that simple
A or B on the test
My mom or dad
Study or sleep
Happy meal or cheeseburger
Your life changes
At that moment
you make a commitment decision
We control that is verily the truth
We are responsible
We are held accountable
For whatever we chose
We must accept our outcome
There will always be regret
Sorrow and pain as a result of your decisions
But we control that
We must live with it
The gift and burden of free will
We make good
We make bad
We make decisions
We are in control of our decisions
Ask a question
Would You Rather...
Question, would you rather have a million dollars or have true love
A material thing or pure love an affection from a person
For one, the choice leans to the material thing
To other,s the choice would leans towards the love of another
Each choice pointing in different outcomes
Hypothetical, but any choice displays the character of the man
The heart and ambition of a person
it opens their souls and shows their true colors
What would you chose
What outcome
Whatever the outcome it will change you
It will make you
What choices will you make to change you
To make you
To Change you forever
What direction, what choice
Would you rather be able to see 10 minutes into the future
Or 10 minutes into the future of anyone else
Would you rather accidentally be responsible for the death of a child
or accidentally be responsible for the deaths of three adults?
Difficult choice
One you must ask yourself
one you must make
