Loyalty and Dilemma

A dilemma of choices poses threat
To an able mind with reason and practice -
To be or not to be asking the question,
Probes the mind in eternal conflict.

Memories from a beautiful past
Seem to threaten the existence,
Of promise of an opulent life.
Ahead lies assaying the two, a mountainous task no less.

Loyalty is no one-way street
It demands two minds progressing in tandem.
Cherished were those values, although now eroded
By toxic ways of a devious behemoth.

Making a decision once out of a conflict can never be easy. Least of all when attachments hold you down and make you rethink about a word given, a promise made and a decision enunciated. An immediate thought occurred to me even as I was flying back home, back to all that stands for security and love. I had to pen the first words that hit my mind, even if it meant scribbling on the paper bag in the safety kit!
