Which Magic?

So there's this question 

to be hurdled 

on the restless quest 

for a portal.

Left or right

Right or wrong --

Which road leads home?

Which side are you on?

That or this?

Which is which?

Which switch 

fixes the glitch?

A heavy burden

Pleasant excursion

Better or worsened --

Which version?

Hell avoided

or

Heaven voided?

Hell hath no wrath

like the scorn 

and thorn

of a wrong path.

To think --

A word.

One syllable.

A symbol.

So simple!

This reality is optional.

This mentality is optimal.

"I OBJECT!"

You're honored 

to 

smarter select.

Be not dumb.

Thy will is done.

Tragic calls for drastic.

Drastic needs a tactic.

Which tactic

turns tragic 

into magic?
