Choices · 25 April 2026
Would you rather go play hopscotch
Or jump rope out on the street?
Would you rather have a juicy steak
Or eat something really sweet?
Would you rather learn about something
Or just play games all your life?
Would you rather live a life of ease
Or have some stresses in your life?
We think choices amount to nothing
For we make choices every day
But each and every choice we make
Transports us upon our way.
Who is to say that your next choice
Might set the trajectory of your life
And that one decision could lead
To a life of misery and strife.
But some of life’s decisions
Do not amount to a hill of beans
They are just like in the movies
Where they have some silly scenes.
And you cannot really stress about
Every decision in your life
Even though each and every choice you make
Plots the pathway of your life.
So if you would rather go play hopscotch
Than jump rope out on the street
Just make sure to do it
When there are no cars that you might meet.
And as you make the big decisions
Keep your future in your mind
And try to make your choices
So that it is true peace that you will find.
[Would you rather….?
Finish this line, and create a poem that flows from it.
