There is a choice;
yes,
every time
despite the vivid shocks
that shake a blighted mind.
There is a choice;
yes,
every time
before each rash and dreaded clout
to stoke the candles of joy or doubt.
There is a choice;
yes,
every time
made in each breath
for love or crime-
and when the grisly blunder ’s made
you blow
a gold layer from your righteous glow-
for there is a choice;
yes,
every time
and you know which choice is kind.
*VERSION 2- Christian
There is a choice;
yes,
every time
despite the vivid shocks
that shake a blighted mind.
It sallies out when you stall
to snare you in to Satan's call,
before each rash and dreaded clout
to stoke the furnace in joy or doubt.
The choice lingers in narrow breath
for heavy love or blackened death-
and if the grisly blunder 's done
you blow a gold layer off His righteous sun.
For there is a choice;
yes,
every time
and you know which choice is kind.
