of course
we all have choices sir
one always has a choice
the very same choice
you
and the rest of us
have enjoyed
since birth
we can choose to live
we can choose to die
we can choose to smile
we can choose to cry
about it all
we can choose
to get the facts
to understand
or just wonder why
but we all must choose
you must choose
this car sir
will take you
to tomorrow
so if you’d like
to see tomorrow
get in!
now!
the next car back?
sir
that car
will never see tomorrow
but it will be up
in just a moment — sir
if you prefer
