Free Will 2

We have the free will

To choose.

So let me choose compassion.

Let me choose to listen.

Let me choose peace –

The peace of stillness

The peace of accepting

The peace of peace.

If I choose peace

Maybe my friends and family will too,

And their friends and family too,

And on and on

Until there is more peace than evil.

Evil will shrink

And be hidden

And maybe waiting for a crevice

To crawl through

To become once again

As powerful

As it is today.

Or we can each choose peace

Not only today

But each morning

Each dawn

To ensure that

Evil will never again

Get its own way.
