The Choice Is Always Ours

The Choice Is Always Ours
Beyond the reach of our imaginings
Life’s Spirit inhabits countless forms,
some on ever-warring planets like our own
where fearful species still kill beings for beliefs,
where every difference is suspiciously seen as ‘threat’,
and intelligence serves petty kingdoms of power.
Beyond the reach of our imaginings
Life’s Spirit inhabits countless forms,
some on ever-peaceful planets like our own
where fast-evolving species choose joy in valued freedoms,
choose wisdom as unity in diversity,
and universal well-being as prime goal.
