Choice

 

“Choices V” by Castro ART

 

 

so many paths beckon

like beds in a brothel

the sylvan or silken

inaudible voice with

its promise of bliss

a suggestive appeal

to the internal ears

private politics hears

these sultry seductions

entice even subconscious

steps on their journey

they speak a molecular

language to either the

mindless or careless

biology lacking or weakly

conditioned by ethics

the pre-purposed

well-reasoned screen

that reliably filters

the virtue from vice

escape the consequences of his choices.”
