Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Roy, you tell it, you say it over and over, but like you say in your very last stanza ( my very favorite part by the way )" But man by nature still resists . . . God in love always persists."
And since Cain and Able, men have continued to choose hour by hour the path they will take.

Thanks Suzanna, I repeated because man always wavers, between here and there, it?s the only choice we have, and yet...very perceptive my friend, blessings Roy

do men waver, or is a tug of war between his higher and baser nature?s?

That?s right
Comment from BethShelby
It is true that we all come into the world the same way and we are all given freedom of choice, yet it hard to believe that we are all created equal because our parents start right away exerting an influence over our life and thinking making choices for us. It seems to be that race and poverty and physical condition make choices much harder for some than others.
I love your poem but those are just some thoughts I struggle with.
