Freedom

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Free will
an
illusion.
Free, limited
only.
Programmed
to a path,
course of
actions
predetermined!
Endless choices,
genetically
constrained.
Aggressive
by nature,
or timid be.
Anything
in between.
Choices constrained
by nature.
Niches filled,
genetically so.
Preprogrammed,
following
the
genetic path
to
free will.

Interesting and thought provoking flowing free verse. Free Will is indeed determined by personality but it''s path and form are also shaped by upbringing. experiences, opportunities and the behaviour of others.
