the problem with a liberal education.
why are so many things
so interesting for so many
reasons that are so intricate?
i think frost was conservative
to speak of only two paths.
it's hard to make a choice
that spurns a million others.
playing the same token, it could be
philanthropy, or it could be
modern dance, or it could be
knife-throwing. no matter what, the problem
is the same: what will it be?
stumbling through a dimmed intellect i know
that one yes is a thousand no's. so how
does one choose when cancer needs healing; when
the great american novel needs writing; when
souls need saving; when society needs leading;
and when girls need songs written about them?
who am i to exclude anything
from the mosaic of possibility?
way to describe the dilemma that is my life. great words.
ReplyDeleteI feel you, bro. I feel you.
ReplyDeletegirls do indeed need songs written about them. it's possible that healing cancer is more important. then again, maybe not.
