He remembered the days being out on his own,
talking for hours on his cell phone.
He had travelled to places he’d never forget,
without leaving the house, it’s all on the net.
All the awards, surprises, and shocks,
so easily attained on his X-Box.
He had surpassed the drama that infects the soul,
completely in distance of remote control.
He had argued the news and political deceit,
from random people he had met on the street.
There was work and marriage and kids of course.
Same old, same old, and then the divorce.
He came up with a story, intensely compelling,
just never begun to write anything.
So many ideas hatched out of his prime,
it’s really too bad he no longer has time.

However, you are threatened that by doing so, your family will be killed. Would you lie under oath to protect your family, ultimately letting the man free?

A touch of religion:
You are on your way home from church when God appears before you. He looks at you and says,” I love you but, no matter what you do from now on, you will never make it to heaven.” Will you still be governed by the laws of the land?
