Subtle Choice

Subtle Choice

Assume Garden of Eden
How would you behave?
Would you be the foolish one?
Or would you be the knave 

Would you fight for all our innocence
Or fight for knowledge true
To speak the word like gods
Or bathe in morning dew

Who will decide for all?
The One! Yes! The Decider
Would she say what’s right and wrong?
And who would sit beside her?

I’d rather let each one decide
A much more subtle choice
To succumb to death and homicide
Or learn to use your voice
