A woman strains for a piece of happiness
can't seem to filter through the noise
to separate fashion from beauty importance from
petty she doesn't even realize she's pretty

We are after all a collection of our choices
superimposed upon a frail genetic frame
So few listening the cacophony of voices
does not communicate except to the insane

A man discovers greatness where he least expects
nurtures to fruition something grand
The greatest part of himself focused in on scheming
he doesn't even realize he's dreaming

We are after all a collection of our choices
wrapped around a frail genetic frame
so few are free to give this consummate society
cannot continue with what's left and in God's name

Enjoyed reading your thoughts!

I found the following line to be especially compelling and memorable ~

"We are after all a collection of our choices"

~ and hopefully the majority of the choices that we make are for our Higher Good.
