Torn

The choices we make create a tear…

Should we do this? Should we do that?

Turning to books, to information to learn…

Scouring resources, prodding others for wisdom.

But the choice is ultimately ours–

And we are torn.

If we choose this…but what about that?

Now weigh the consequences.

Who will feel the affects of our choice?

Who will reap the long-lasting effects?

To balance the choice…

“We need the money.”

At what cost? To whom? How long?

Torn, our hearts try… and try…
