Choice:

As you pass them by

do you not see their outstretched limbs

beckoning unto you

this way or that way

which way will you go

what path will you take 

hark the whispers of them so

how they discuss talk amongst themselves

do you not hear the mirth

or even the mire

of perhaps the glad 

and even misfortunate

many a year has passed them so

and yet still you walk amongst them

without ever realising

or knowing how long they have stood

as guards protecting the land

they stand amongst

so mighty, proud and tall

the journey always the same

the message always the same

which way will you go

what path will you take

will you seek to silence their whispers

or stop and take note

of a hundred year old message

that speaks unto you

and whilst seeming to be but the wind

nay even a light breeze

rustling the branches and leaves

it is but the words of the wise

here we have stood

all we have seen

whom do you trust

whom do you believe

which path will you take

which way will you go

as you pass us by

be it through ignorance

or perhaps simple blindness

sometimes they slip past

without ever knowing

or hearing

the messages of the wise

and yet oh so ancient

which way will you choose
