Hello, I love the idea behind this 5-7-5, and I feel you are onto something meaningful here. For me, though, the last word "become" doesn't work. It seems awkward. Perhaps a word like "future" would fit better?

Either way, good luck in the contest.

Take care,
Erika

Become means the choices make us who we are. My interpretation, thanks for the suggestion, but I think I will stick with become as used by Gordon Allport in his book "Becoming".

I just looked up Gordon Allport and the concept of reconciling the two modes of becoming?tribal and personal. Since that is the basis of using the word become, perhaps your readers would enjoy an author?s note regarding Allport? I found the concept to be fascinating.

Thanks for sharing.
Erika.

I like your theme here, we do have choices to make and we can choose good or evil. You have written a poem that makes the reader think and is true to life. Excellent use of words.
