THIS WEEK'S QUOTE PROMPT:

My biggest excuse to others and myself was that I had writer's block, as if it was some kind of illness. Mary Garden

#41 - Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off. Franklin D. Roosevelt

TWO DIFFERENT ROADS

Two different directions, two different roads.
Approaches to life not the same.
Is it just competition that carries our load
or that keeps inner fires aflame?

Two different directions, two different roads.
Expounding on what we believe,
yet panic sets in when our values implode
to which we unceasingly cleave.

From unlikey places comes burning unrest,
discord where once unity glowed.
The embers are killing the need for a quest
to different directions, to different roads.
