Dilemma, Freedom and Other Assorted Emotions

Standing at the crotch of forked paths
The brain whirs and the vision blurs
The shoulders are heavy with load
Trapped inside the snake's jaw, like a toad

Calm down, think straight
Fuck destiny, choose your own fate
Left path, fenced with barbed wire all along
Trimmed grass and pruned trees
Safe and stable at every furlong

Right one looks wild and thrilling
No fences to keep you on the course
Freedom is your thing, it fits the billing

Freedom, hard to define but easy to confine
Easy to deride but hard to justify
For the millions of crotches that may lie ahead
To cut through the maze of delusion and haze
Freedom must always be the shining blade.
