Either Way

-Either Way-
by Keaton Foster


Steal the world
Take life
Possess the right
Call it ordained
Say it’s your fate
Either way
Refuse to give up
Never dare relent
That which you
Are sure was meant
God above
Will somehow forgive
The devil below
He won’t ever know
He has no reason
To interfere
No plan to supersede
He’ll leave you be
As wicked as you’ll seem
Never enough will you be
Save or be saved
Stay or escape
Either way
Do what you yourself
Have come to believe
There is a fine line
Between starvation
And an over abundance
A finer line exist
Between life and death
Between what’s right
And what will be next
Be as brutal as you must be
To obtain what is required
A prerequisite of living
Is an ability to survive it
Fight the best fight
That you feel you can
Either way
Deal with others
Harshly and precise
Let them know
Without question
Who is in charge
They will understand
Or they won’t
They will be on your side
Or they will flee screaming
Forget reason and rationale
Dismiss sin and salvation
Make it about what’s next
And doing what it takes
To get there and find out
Either way
Simple to convey
Not so easy to betray
That which makes you
More human than creature
But I’m sure
That if and when
Push comes to shove
You’ll find a way
Steal the world
Take life
Possess the right
Call it ordained
Say it’s your fate
Either way…


Either Way
