Analysis of DILEMMA
Finite universe, infinite mind
Big world, tiny brain
Same Iron, Different strength
Found within and, far away.
Two Kings, one crown
One friend, one enemy
Same slave, same master
One treacherous, one cautious.
Different options, one move
Simple choices, dire consequences
One path, two roads
One of freedom, one of control.
Same space, different locations
Same love, different effort
Same effort, different intention
Some clear, others blurry.
Weak scents, strong memories
Important words, muted voices
Rough sensations, priceless gains
Gained wisdom, lost chances.

This poem is about how life gives uniquely difficult choices. That we do not fully understand their consequences.
