There comes a time when each of us must step out on a limb and choose to live our own lives. My 1st entry into the Steemit Poetry Challenge 4 is titled Self Determination.
Life is a journey; Steemit and even this poem is part of mine. Thanks for reading!
Self Determination
I’m standing on the precipice of fate
Fate is not real is what I’m told
Told to be myself and decide what I choose
Choose to be free and not a slave
Ignorance is bliss
Bliss, a state of perfect happiness
Happiness is a virtue
Virtue stemming from faith
Faith in yourself is all you require
Require that happiness enter your life
Be the change you want to see
See for yourself not what is on TV
TV may as well be called Thought Violation
Violation of the mind corrupting your innocence
Innocence once lost but yours to be regained
Fight for your salvation
Salvation from the tyranny of mental corruption
Corruption is commerce in today’s economy
Economy of scale oppresses the people
People are meant to be free
Free your mind and be happy finally
Free In Thought, 2016
