Take a Pick

Throughout my life
I had two supporters:
The Cloudy Mountain beckoned me over,
While the Crimson Abyss pulled me further
The decision was going to be eternal.

I could take a tiresome hike,
Step by step
To reach the Peak of the Mountain.
From there I could See
The Bottom of the Abyss.

Or instead of Seeing,
I could accept the Abyss’ offer
And jump down the Crevice
Completely effortlessly
But never See Light again.


The author's comments:
It is always easier to jump down a hole than to climb a mountain. As in life, it is always easier to do evil than to do good. The abstract ideas and allegorical representations represent these ideas in the poem.
