Everyone else seems to be taking a stab at poetry they hope will be unique enough to not remind someone of better- classic poetry like Keats or the Beatles.
Here's my effort:
This is not a love poem; it's a life verse:
An anthem about being alive
[life isn't an irredeemable curse]
I've heard that some people have a right not to ever see the sun.
Well, I read poetry by a boy whose life had been shattered, and he said he was thrilled to be alive.
I'm positive that that the "right to die" is a revolting lie.
Those choices I've made in the garden of my heart- glancing around, sneaking fruit out in my pockets- those never brought life.
All I got from them was strife, screams in a locked bathroom.
So the "right to choose" [the one we sinned to attain] well, I'm rethinking whether or not that was a gain or a dreadful loss.
Somebody Who always made the right decisions
Took a myriad of incisions
On sinless skin
That was His choice- crying out in a loud voice for us to be forgiven
of our free will abuse.
So I guess I'm pro-choice when it comes to my Creator's voice.
What He's spoken I'll do
That means thinking about you and your soul, whose choices you're gonna follow: will they be His or are you sticking with you?
That's the anthem- I was probably off key
So I'll leave it to the Saviour to compose the rest of the symphony.
