We Make These Choices!

who makes the choices
that change the world?
that decide who eats,
who has shelter,
who has medical care?
the choices…
whether or not to bomb,
whether to pull the trigger.
whether to see that justice is done,
or to turn the head,
and walk away…
whether to accept
people for who they are,
and what they are…
whether to stand up
for the other person’s rights,
the other person’s beliefs,
the other person’s way of life…
whether to walk in dignity,
and respect,
or to take at all costs.

we make these choices,
each of us every moment
of every day.
what we do or dont do,
say or dont say,
give or dont give,
changes the world!
actions and inaction,
hidden thoughts and feelings,
who we vote for,
and whether we vote…
whether we’re willing
to share what we have…
we change the world,
moment by moment…
for better, or worse?
