Analysis of The Election of Choice
To Choose
Or Not to Choose,
I submit to you
That is the real question.
For on one side
There is the Election of Choice,
But on the other is
The Choice of Election.
For those who declare,
The Election of Choice,
Where I can choose
Full, unfettered and free,
I ask you dear friend,
Just how is it then,
That a dead man,
Can find the will to agree?
Now for those who champion
The Choice of Election
Where souls cannot choose,
Their fate.
Let me ask you dear friend,
Just why is it then,
That you get so angry,
And boiling with hate?
For if there really is no choice,
Within the hearts of men,
Then why do you get so bent out of shape
When they chose to not give in?
