' An Answer To Enemies (Matt. 5: 44) ... '

I Choose Life

Not Death

I Chose Love

… and Never Left …

Nor Look Behind

At Lost Regrets

I Know Where I’m Going

… No Need To Guess

I Choose Power

Not Pride

I Choose Peace

Poised Inside

I Choose Truth

Not Lies

I Choose GOD

Who Is All-Wise

… and Even If

My Last Dying Breath

I Will Defy

Any Evil-Darkness

… But You Chose Hate

Not Hope

You Chose To Ignore

What Good – GOD Spoke

You Think Causing Sorrow

Will Save You?

You Think Causing Fear

Will Raise You?

You Think Causing Pain

Will Pay You

A Great Reward

To Gain You?

But These Things

Only Stain You

In Eternal Eyes

They Shame You …

Without Mercy

They Maim You

and Into Animals

They Change You …

I Choose Kindness

Not Curse You

I Choose To Bless

and Even Nurse You

I Choose Good-Will

Not Worse For You

This Is Honesty

Not Rehearsed For You …

The World’s A Stage

We Are The Cast

But Parts We Play

We Choose The Masks …

So At Final Curtain Call

Will Your Character Bow Or Fall?

The Heralds At Costume Ball

Say Our Choices Reveals All …

I Choose King Of Kings

and Kingdom Come

Chose Eternity …

Not Oblivion …

From Dust To Dust

Earth Into Earth

Enemy To Enemy

Bury Its Worth …

Put Death To Death

Ashes To Ash

Give Memory To Mercy

Put Past To Past

Begin To Begin

and End To End

So We Can Call A Foe

… A Trusted Friend

I Reject Envy

and Treachery

I Choose Joy

and Generosity

I Choose Freedom

I Chose Faith

I Choose The Path …

We ‘Both’ Can Take

I Choose Honor

and Humility

I Choose ‘Invictus’

… Not An Enemy …

I Choose Life

Not Death

I Chose Love

… and I’ve Never Left …
