Choices Part 2 Poem by Andy Caldwell

in simple choices made
amongst lessers of evils
any choice is still evil
and it in itself is wrong
then as always in time
we make more deals
more and more compromises
and we are consumed
our grayness darkens
it's made of absolute values
simple blacks and whites
we all see ourselves as right
we justify all our bad actions
still we know we are wrong
but never make a correction
then in life we find out
we became the product
of choices we have made
and none were wholly good
not one of us was righteous
each has an inherent evil
which must be washed away
and cleansed with blood
