One Decision
One decision invites much more
a new world to explore
this is the promise few will test
when change is pain most resist
that door awaits beyond the now
the one that fearful disallow
while opened with apparent ease
the craven pretend there’s no relief
by virtue of alert reserve
the status quo is then preserved
trapped in amber cast by fright
anxiety becomes pure delight
those choices few will embrace
don’t doubt the past could be erased
if supplicants move past their locks
placed to stop a life resolved.
