Times for choosing

After Hebrews 11:23-27

I grow up and know

that I am and am not son

and slave simultaneously,

that the time has come

when I must choose one

or the other,

the pinnacle of power

or the depths of the dregs.

I choose the harder way

why I cannot really say

except it is

who I was

who I am

who I must be
