Pick and Choose

by John Rufino

Choose your words carefully.
I – pick – mine
If spoken in harmony, can unlock your mind
It’ll open locked doors, and reveal what’s behind
Because inside is where true potential lies
To gain insight, go behind enemy lines
Open your ears and eyes – you’re not deaf, dumb and blind You see me? You hear me?
I – choose – mine.
