                         The Choice

The horses have bolted all over the world
And many's the door that's been shut.
Alas, it's too late, the heartache goes on,
I fear that we're stuck in a rut.

The people look haunted, to varying degrees,
In lots of the places we go, and
It scares me a bit, what the hell's up with them
I really do not want to know.

There's still people starving and dying and that,
All over the world, every day,
And it's still up to us if that is to change
Or if it is to stay that way.

The options seem simple to someone like me
(But then, no mean thinker am I!)
We can lay down our weapons and hold out our hands
Or carry on fighting and die....
