Choice

A simple question asked of the citizens.

Do we want a football team?

Do we want a baseball team?

How about unlimited health-care?

Would I rather have a hot dog 

Or a computer?

Would I have chosen to have less teachers

When I thought a football team was a yes vote?

Will the price of a baseball game be prohibitive?

Could the price paid for a team 

Cost me the security of more police

Or a young man a job?

If there is no limit on the price

Will we pay to sustain a life,

And, of necessity, impose

Severe limits on clean air funding?

If granny is to be preserved indefinitely

Will we knowingly allow millions to go jobless,

And experience the loss of our

Culture of growth

When no funds are left

To search for cures,

Defend our borders, or feed the children,

Will we find the price acceptable?
