The Choice Is Yours Poem by Kholekile Monakali

I can show you everything in the world
but I cannot decide which good for you.
I can give you life but I cannot live it
for you.

I can show you good people
but I cannot force you to make
friends with them.
I can warn you about wrong characters
and evil things but I'm not the one to take
decisions.

You can take the horse to the river
but you cannot force it to drink.
He who slaughters his beast is
not to be questioned.

We are all vehicles of life, either
private or commercial but you choose
which you want to be.
The private carries the owner and few
passengers, but the commercial conveys
everyone to his destination.

You have your way, I have my way.
As for the right way, the correct way,
and the only way it does not exist.
You have every choice to choose
whatever you like in this world
The ball is on your hands.
