We knew to observe the evidence around us Before we decided what we would accept or reject. We knew that someone would reject The idea which we loved most- We knew we would begin to replace What we had thought or been. We did not know that the choice would Almost never be plainly marked Between a good and an evil. Rather, we found ambivalence and uncertainty; Whether to become totally involved or not Could not be decided with rational certitude. The rightness of a situation was often Determined by someoneis ability to succeed. The frustration of choice Led some to give way to despair. Others gave the choice away; Others accepted choice as a responsibility. Those who came to grips with their choice Sought wisdom, but remembered not to demand That their choice be the only choice. They remained open-minded, yet critical. Some even rejected the sheer joy of knowing For an objective approach to learning. Others sought an identity in imagination, Creating meaning in myth, artistic expression- All learned to choose for themselves, Whether the choice gave them freedom Or forced them to look within, All realized that a generation of Gettysburgians Is more than four years long.
