What scenarios will the world leaders and we Choose?

What scenarios will the World Leaders and We Choose?

(Out of the Thousand-one and More Scenarios)

 

The vicissitudes of history converge

And carousel through space to geography,

A thousand-one and more scenarios,

Waiting to be plucked to set the present.

 

In rotation, which will the world leaders choose,

To be cast to the winds of time, affecting,

Thus, your life and mine, just as you and I

Have a choice to make as to how we write

Every move and sentence we utter?

 

All of history awaits to be cast

with background sets and props for verdicts,

Ours, and yours, as we pronounce our lines and

Set the scenes that will mark the present world

Of families, communities, nations!

 

So many choices from which to choose, if,

But conscious to the consequences

Of all our choices before our final bow.
