The scale of my decisions <br />Sundering about, weighing by degrees <br />Hoping to find that bubble in balance <br />Reading the significant, feeling the importance <br />So little time...I must make the most of the moment <br /> <br />Dilemmas abound.. <br />Triviliality...am I sound? <br />Oh...the enormity.. <br /> <br />Value systems that travel toward peaks <br />Glistening with icy purity <br />Contrasting with the improper <br />Rules of civility….make some snore <br />Rules and laws are the convention <br />How do we melt those hearts? <br /> <br />Shall I challenge the poor <br />Or <br />Uplift the challenged? <br /> <br />Shall I seek out the wise <br />Or <br />Seek with wisdom? <br /> <br />Shall I lend a hand to the hopeless <br />Or <br />Help the hopeless realize they have value? <br /> <br />Be challenged by those who are unjust <br />Or <br />Will I be Called to be the voice of justice’s importance? <br /> <br />(March 28,2005 ~ Bell's Island, North Carolina)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weighing-by-degrees/
