The Missing Man

I have to..

I had to...

I have to have this because...

I had to do that because...

It's just what we do...

Stop asking me so many questions!!

Like Eichmann 

who had to follow orders

..and the guy on the train

with the earring

...and the one next to him

with the hat

...and the woman next to him

tired...has to make dinner

for her family..

...because it's what we

HAVE to do DAMMIT

Angry Resentful People

trying so hard

Did you notice..?

there was one person

so obviously missing

amongst the thousands

...the most important

person on earth

The Individual

the free individual human being

who makes choices

and lives with eyes wide

o     p     e    n

I choose to...

I chose to...

(it really makes no

difference why

you choose to)

If it's my choice

I own it

Do not take away my breath..by

smothering me in

"has to"

do not halve me

with "have to"s

Empower me

Educate me

Inspire me

I get up in the morning

..and go to work

because I choose to

..she makes dinner

because she chooses

...to keep her family fed

and happy

...and when she chooses not to

she doesn't

..and lives with the consequences

a human being

tomorrow night

I will choose to accept 

Gods gift

why?

because it's what I choose to do

and that's all that matters
