Two Choices, One Voice

By William S. Becker -

 Born into a system with two sets of rules

One all for self and the other to give away all your jewels
One is awake and the other asleep
One wants to give and the other to keep
The trick is to step back and see
What is fighting for your power complete

Two voices inside, both pulling the reins
One promises pleasure, the other brings pains
One builds a prison you never can see
The other unlocks what you’re meant to be

The one that takes whispers, “Think only of you”
The one that gives asks, “What can love do?”
One feeds the hunger that never is filled
The other grows quiet where faith can be built

So stand in the middle, don’t run, don’t pretend
Just watch who is speaking, and who is your friend
For power is chosen in each breath you make
To give for the truth, while the ego takes

Emotions Rise and Fall

By William S. Becker -

World Filled with Sorrow and Pain

By William S. Becker -
We are born to a world filled with sorrow and pain Never revealing how we are so vain Never seeing how others pain feeds my worth This is what we are taught from birth Man's nature is clear and concise We have one of two forces controlling our life They are like the wolves that we feed One is full of nothing but greed One is love and all it includes How we feed it the sages conclude That it's done by rising above Not looking at the hate, only the love A love that is born from a desire Designed to ignite your heart to a raging fire Bringing joy and balance to Nature's plan As unitedly we raise MAN
