Choices Ring

 “To be, or not to be” –
From Hamlet ring to thee –
In Pilate’s hall was queued
With Christ, “what shall I do” –

“I have a dream” was cried –
With passion from the heart –
Off from script King leapt –
Choice – to shake the earth –

Ferdinand one turn of car –
A turn that charged him death –
As well sprung forth a world at war –
And placed the earth in doom –

As wind that blew by August sixth –
Carried – careful clouds –
From Kokura changed the flash –
Forever lives were shook –

One may not seem substantial –
As Pilate judge of each –
Or wise as King’s defining words –
Nor powerful as nukes –

But each “to be” or choice –
Binary they may seem –
As wind and turning car –
Could be the world to all –
