Melodrama and Realism
A poetry website by Nicholas Nicoli
An Ode to Decisions Made
We sat on the fence
and watched the game
thinking that we have no control over it
Sitting on the fence was nice
until it was forced
I noticed the obligatory numbness first
So I made a decision
a decision to get off the fence
and say goodbye
And then
one day while I was walking
on one side of the fence
O, hello!
It is through the thick jungle
through the chaos of directions
that war should be won
O, peace!
Do not negotiate friends
for that is decisions' bread and butter
close the deal
it's a beautiful thing to be out of
so know them, understand them, weigh them,
make them
O, make them!
