Analysis of Choosing Not To Choose
The choice you chose was right for you,
expressed in what you say.
The choice you chose was wrong for me
in every single way.
Everything chosen gives that choice a voice.
Choosing not to choose is another choice.
The choice you chose has disregard
for all stated concerns.
The choice you chose has to retard
a trust earlier earned.
Everything chosen gives that choice a voice.
Choosing not to choose is another choice.
The choice you chose has consequence,
it changed the whole shebang.
The choice you chose has caused offense,
and this is no harangue.
Everything chosen gives that choice a voice.
Choosing not to choose is another choice.
