As you drove by in your precious vehicle, you stare in contentment at those less than privileged people. You look at them with derision, look at them from your steeple.nnGo snivel in your disgrace because you don’t retaliate; Disparage them because they were granted good healthnGo bask in your wealth, go ride through your neighborhood, go to the place in silence and stealthnnGo to the place in your mind where the rails cross, where you met the one who gave you that gold.nLook upon the man with the sign in vanity. Read with your lips, “Will Work For Food.”nBut then comes the end and that deep, empty whistle, exhorting rampant into you with your final moannnCross the rails to the right side of the tracks.nCan you make your way to the love that you lacked?nBreak monotony, slip into your safeguard, amend your old ways, discharge your alarmnnBut still he comes for you, when the other was gone. Place his hands upon your essence and protecting you from harm.nThe one you mocked, the one you never saw, the one that was your savior, the one you disregarded.nnHe sits at home, wondering why he let you go, how he let you fly, how he let you bynWhy he didn’t care, why he doesn’t cry.nHe sits alone pondering, surreptitiously waiting to regain your company.nnBut now you’re with those true elite that you hid from all those years.nSo must he tell himself, choking back the tears, how love still waits for him?nJust to futilely amble back again.nnBut his passage to the rails were made unaidednSo simply he left, before it fadednDoes that prove the truth that he foresaw?nWill you forgive? Will you break your own law?nnWill you take the chance?nHe’ll wait for you, for the answer to his plannHe presses the gun against your head, holds the trigger in his handn“Your choice, not a demand.”nIs it worth the trial, worth the loss, worth the chance, worth it again?n
