THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING
THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING
In the beginning of everything
Was a decision,
And the decision was to be,
Whether light or darkness,
Hero or villain
A saint or a sinner
Imprisoned or free,
Cruel or kinder
A loser or finder
A slave or a leader
A problem or solver
Or even the writer
Of poetry
Hardly anyone reads.
In the beginning the decision
Now and forever
Was mistaken by its maker
For fate shaping the nature
Of his time or his future
Somehow.
In the beginning of everything
There was the decision
But the beginning is
Now.
