Religion of choice

When we are/At X-roads/The choices/We are about to make/Whether they be/Good or bad/That’s the risk/We have to take
Though we have/A conscience/Which purely acts/As a divine guide/It’s entirely up to us/If we wish to heed/The divine voice inside
There are no ‘have to’s’/Nor any ‘don’ts’/We are free as a butterfly/To do whatever we want/When the Great Call comes/And the sunset gleams/There will be rewards/Or consequences
Being given the/Power of reasoning/We can sieve the good/From the bad/When Mehr, Srosh, Rashne/Pass their Divine Judgment/There will be/No plea bargaining/But will depend on the life one led
