Another preamble
in this continued unravelling.
Every choice is a gamble,
the examples are ample.
Tread lightly or trample,
take root or to travel.
Speak clearly or ramble,
to decline or to sample;
and bite from that apple.
No, there's never a given
in this life we are living
of the unleavened and risen.
To drive or be driven
are we taking or giving?
Guilty? Forgiven?
No conclusion forgone
of after dusk a new dawn,
or of which side I'm on.
But to a king from a pawn...
three tenets relied on:
Brains before brawn.
Look for the right from the wrong.
Ahead must be forged on.
