Act On

Each of us has a hierarchy of values we act on.
Each individual,
A legendary tale amongst a billion stories,
has its own unique hierarchy,

One paved through their chapters of hardships,
or lack thereof.
— ; One built upon what you’ve done,
and what’s been done to you.

So, in life-
when we’re forced to choose between survival and morality,
which thoughts provoke you first?
Which appetite eats your focus?

Even in your triumph,
Even in your journey of great survival,
There were dreams you sacrificed in order to pursue this one,
(whether for survival or morality.)

So, did you settle?
There’s a right answer —
you know this,
even if you read
and chose to lie inside.
