A Poem About Choices and Consequences
hat is a lifestyle, but a way of living
A set of choices, a pattern of giving
A reflection of values, a expression of self
A measure of happiness, a source of wealth
Some lifestyles are simple, some are complex
Some are healthy, some are vexed
Some are active, some are passive
Some are creative, some are massive
Some lifestyles are inspired, some are mundane
Some are adventurous, some are plain
Some are spiritual, some are secular
Some are individual, some are regular
Some lifestyles are peaceful, some are chaotic
Some are harmonious, some are despotic
Some are optimistic, some are pessimistic
Some are realistic, some are mystic
Some lifestyles are social, some are solitary
Some are communal, some are arbitrary
Some are friendly, some are hostile
Some are flexible, some are fragile
Some lifestyles are sustainable, some are wasteful
Some are ethical, some are disgraceful
Some are ecological, some are harmful
Some are economical, some are barmy
Some lifestyles are joyful, some are sorrowful
Some are hopeful, some are doubtful
Some are grateful, some are resentful
Some are faithful, some are dreadful
What is your lifestyle, what do you choose
What do you gain, what do you lose
What do you love, what do you hate
What do you create, what do you negate
Your lifestyle is yours, it is unique
It is your voice, it is how you speak
It is your journey, it is your destination
It is your challenge, it is your celebration
