Philosophies & Religion Everyday, we
Make many choices
In our mortal lives
Which are either right
And lead us clearly
To the light of truth
Or are so amiss
They show us the way
Into the darkness.
Lost souls forever.
If we should zig right
When we should quickly
Have zagged to the left.
Our destiny
Changes exactly
Right in a heartbeat
And at that moment
No one can turn back.
Our previous course
Is just memory.
A million to one
Odds & decisions
Are out there for us.
Make up your own mind
Open up this door
Close tightly that one.
Run, do not linger
To the very next
Decision you make.
Imagine the best.
What is done is done.
Interesting poem with many complexities set in a simple, but suited format. Your word choice is deliberate and intense in short phrases as emotions mount at thinking about our society not as a whole, but as individuals making choices in effecting the community as a whole. I like how you wrote this and went on to sharing it. It certainly gets a person thinking and that's a good thing. God bless you, sweetie.
Buddha says, "With our thoughts we create the world!"
I liked the last couple of lines. It seems a bit like life, the trudge and tromp and hopefully at the end the ascension. I guess the Zig-zag reference can be used for many of us. But some say it is the belief and faith that helps us be delivered.
I not only believe but can see your writing still contains a good rhythm, depth and insight.
Thanks for letting me know about this one.
Cheers & Beers,

After reading your "SWEET DESIRES",
for the first time, I've no more
words to comment on "KARMA". "SWEET
DESIRES" blew my mind away: I'll
have to find my mind. But since I'm
eagle I will. And then, I'll say
something concerning this one:
"Karma". For me now, it's:
