Free Will: A matter of Choice

Man has been liberated 

by choice

To freely choose

A path of life

unlike many other creatures

that live 

We think

An acoustic sound

Skies filled with souls

The choices

Worrying for nothing

Burning outer space

A human race

striking many matches

in desolation

raising them into a fire

of will

reaching the heights of human

Skies

The beauty of 

remembrance

Calling out for 

peaceful resolutions

Raising a glass

of life

Something runs wild

into a character filled dream

like the age old tree

marking the years

in wider circles

filling the scope of humanity

This really is a great poem! It shows that humans are creatures that can be so powerful on their own without everything else that we get from society. Loved it!

-- hmmm... we can choose many things... but we don't choose the violence/abuse that comes our way... -- that is a choice that someone else makes and we suffer...

Frankly, I can't follow the overall message in your nuanced & figurative words. Still, I always enjoy your talent for choosing fresh, original ways to state the everyday observations of life. Not getting the overall thread does not prevent a straightforward person like myself from enjoying the gracefulness of your word choices & the thought-provoking nature of your individual comments.
