Choose Carefully
©February 5th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram

Wonderstruck, thunderstruck,
You twirl on shifting sands
Of contradiction and paradox,
And the dance of life
Becomes dizzy.

To care, or not to care
To work, or not to work
To laugh, or not to laugh
To think, or not to think
To eat, or not to eat
These are choices when
You have plenty.

To be, or not to be —
Dolorous cogitations
That only comfort, and wealth,
And the having of things
Make possible.

Ah, but when you have nothing at all,
To be — that is the only question.
And the answer?
Ah, that’s for you to find,
And Life is patient
So is Time.
Choose carefully.
