DECISIONS

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

There comes a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whether to lie or fight
For a place to come into the world.

There comes a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whether to leave his mother's womb
Or to rather keep it company.

There comes a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
On crawling
Or perhaps, taking his first steps.

There comes a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whose name to call first,
His Dad's or his Mom's.

There comes a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whether to fight his own battles
Or take a coward's badge.

There comes a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
On telling his best childhood friend
How he was madly in love with her.

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Where to place his faith.
With God or the man in black.

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whom to marry;
A wife or his career?

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Where he wants to end up;
In the palace or with the swines.

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whether to live
In his honour or that man's.

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
If he should forever be a son
Or a father.

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Either to follow the crowd
Or rather to make followers.

There cometh a time
In the life of man
When he has to decide
Whether to live or die.
Or look death in the eye
And laugh him scorn.

THE STORY BEHIND THE POEM
Hi guys,
The poem was originally written on the 12th of February, 2016. And ever since it has been edited twice. Firstly by my elder brother just two days after it was written and today by
@tezzmax. I wrote the poem on a lonely afternoon hoping to cover the whole aspect of a man's life and showing through it (the poem) how the little decisions we've made over the years would actually define our entire existence one day.
So please do me the favor of thinking things over before you decide.
Don't make reckless decisions and most importantly help the youngsters around you make the right choices through your wholesome advise an experience.
Thanks guys.
Please let me know what you think about this poem
