You Live in the World You Choose

August 23, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is free will.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical poem about how one’s choices shape one’s world:

You live in the world you choose.
Each act is a creation.
The evil and the good
Result in just proportion.

The things you see and know,
What you think and feel,
What you are and do --
Your world is by your choice.

Choose love, and you'll be loved.
Choose hate, and you'll be hated.
Everything you choose,
You'll see in others' eyes.
