They haunt me and taunt me,
playing with my conscience
My response? Reckless abandonment of right
or perhaps relentless abashment of my worth
responsibility:
the social force that binds you to the courses of action demanded by that force; "we must instill a sense of duty in our children"; "every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty"- John D.Rockefeller, Jr.
I have made a decision
one that I must make every day
some days tougher than others....days when it appears as if there is no decision to re-make at all
others as heavy as the gargoyles that peer and veer over the estate of my life
This decision to uphold, protect and respect
to honor the victorious, the only thing that exists.
But I'm guilty
I entertain them, these Demons and Devils
I let them linger too closely to beckon me and wail
They lie, they pander, they lay odds at my feet
But true I stay, toeing the line for play
Entertainment or boredom or the need to conquer
Goes back to the abandonment of me
