By Bernie Bell

A person can choose
To be kindly
To add to the ‘plus’ in life.
 
Or, choose the narrow way
Rejecting the ‘other’
The different
The outsider
 
It is a choice
Made consciously
Or not.
 
Which way do you choose
The open heart
The open mind
 
Or, the high walls
Either side of the way
Casting shadows
On your life.
 
Casting shadows
On LIFE itself.
