Illusion of choice

Illusion of choice

The illusion of choice

Is a powerful placebo

People get to think

There are more choices

To choose from yet

They tend to choose

The one they would’ve

Chosen even when 

There were no choices

There’s a comfort in

Choosing the known one

Even when unknown ones

Could be a sea change

To choose the known one

People still need choice

To assume having free will 

Thus illusion of choice

Is just another coping

Mechanism to deal with

The total lack of free will

In this indifferent existence
