Daily

daily
life is about
many things
some we choose
some are chosen for us
control as we might
life goes on,
from great minds
we learn
great truths,
from weak minds
we learn
great truths,
perhaps in the end
we will join
in a single line
and rejoice in the growth
or the stupidity
of all mankind
The great freedom of choice
The responsibility of choice
I wonder
at the great comedians
of our day
and hope
that their views
will soften the blows
of misfortune
and spread the hope
of lessons learned
hope anew
a choice review
every morning
of our life.
