The Other Side

We can each choose to be blind,
We look around, yet do not see.

We can each choose to be deaf,
We listen, yet do not hear.

We can each choose to be mute,
We talk, yet do not speak out.

We can each choose to be unwise,
We seek information, yet do not disperse knowledge.

We can each choose to hate,
We are 'social' beings, yet do not love.

We can each choose to live our own Lives,
Or aspire toward the dreams of other men.

Now, would you choose to trust or distrust a fellow traveler?
