It's OUR Choice

Let’s draw the line

                    

A small village with a few communities living together

In touch with nature and purity in their thoughts

A system that enabled them to carry-out their day-to-day tasks

With respect to each other that defined a quality of life

Along came a passerby from a nearby city

Suggested a few changes and taught them to frown

Sold them an elusive dream

Of comfort & facilities that could bring their efforts down

Soon comparison and competition had found its roots

The focus shifted from quality to style

Deadlines defined the action and subsequent reaction

And suddenly everyone had forgotten to smile

As we read through a daily newspaper

The first few pages showcase political battles

The next few will highlight the corporate battles

Finally sporting all related corruption and dope that rattles

There’s speed in delivering the information

Without a user guide to know it’s application

Did we need the information in the first place?

OR continue to be overloaded to asphyxiation

Being pushed in the race or living life at our pace

Quality, style or quite simply a smile on the face

Whether we frown, yearn or rejoice

Life has always been a matter of OUR choice
