Responsibility (Poem)

Throughout our lives, we’re called to action

Held accountable for all our faction

Our wills tested by how we react

The things we do, we can’t take back

History’s there for those who use it

As a guide, but many just don’t choose it

Trying to turn against reality

We form a cement mentality

Unwilling to bend at any cost

A narrow mind means all is lost

A flexible willow weathers the storm

But the solid oak is broken in form

Life has a current, so choose how to travel

Or else a torrent of storm may unravel

Whatever the case, the journey goes on

With choices to face and ideas to spawn
