Do Bees Decide?

Do bees decide to swarm?

Do salmon decide to spawn?

Do crabs decide to become a crab?

And prawns to become a prawn?

Am I just a pawn in the game of life?

I find myself torn, between free will and determinism,
and I’m still determined to get to the bottom of it
before I have some kind of existential fit.

I can’t decide if I can decide.

I can run but I just can’t hide.

Am I riding high in the saddle?

Or am I just along for the ride?
