They say it's just a chemical stimulation,
A flash between nerves, a stipulation
from the head of the human HQ
to the lower castes. That's what they say ‒
That all is explainable by science,
But really, now. Can control over life
be explained by science? What does science say
About choices?
You heard me right. Choices. The ability
to be the ventriloquist manipulating
the dummy, or the misfortune
of becoming the manipulated dummy.
It could be a quiz, the tick
of a box, the hasty scrawl
of a single word, or the shout
of an answer in the heat of the moment.
Jobs too. Whether you want to be
a lawyer who spits out facts all day
or a freelancer who works to their heart's content
is your decision in the end.
I also thought about intellect.
One thought of one person
led to others making decisions that changes
the course of their life forever ‒
The path of life in which they must
Choose the way they want to follow,
select the right answers to the puzzle
to open the chest and see the treasure.
There's also the matter of yin and yang,
Good and evil, lin and gan,
Belief in the spiritual, black and white intertwined,
both so different in essence, yet so similar
That they will only live if they
Coexist, for if ripped apart, they will
Disintegrate, and as a result,
Perished shall be the human race ‒
Yes, the opposites of nature.
Those of opposing gender:
Male and female, founders of world population
and all by choice of a higher power.
If life were a video game, I'd be
the controller. To create
with the click of a switch, to destroy
With the pull of a trigger...
... But there's another. The ventriloquist
of the whole puppet show,
the mastermind
Of the most complex structures known.
Our choices are the outcome, in the end.
