The Switch

Maybe your life is

a pleasant climb

on your bicycle

on a gently sloping road

to the top of the hill.

 

After a short rest, you descend

in graceful sweeping curves

enjoy a cooling breeze

survey the painted panorama

and cruise to a gentle stop.

 

Or maybe you live in a refugee camp

in streets of open sewers

run from apocalyptic hunters

skirt disease and starvation

and die a difficult death.

 

Now you can be a god.

Choose whether you wish to live again

or leave this vale of tears forever.

It's up to you.

 

Buddy will reanimate or extinguish

your life essence as you desire.

You are the god.

Buddy just works the switch.

 

But you never know

whether you will be reborn

in a paradise or in a hell.

Strange World

...that has such chance in't. Throw the die, born rich for life, another cast, born in the dirt to live in a ditch until death. I love where you walked in this landscape/lifescape. It touched up from the pool darkly - Just bein' - Stella
