Going Down the Wrong Road

Without a plausible answer, you let the good dreams live in the achiever... dreams,not thoughts of an unduly child: changing domitable ways to wild, shouting harmful and volatile words! Brother,you're going down the wrong road, and that is not going to lift some of the weight off; the barriers won't quickly come down... they'll cause only division and more grief: to lay dangers in places so unseen... that's when everything falls apart, unable to replace it with something with worth! Without aspiration or natural passion, you stop half-way through and stare at others with envy,anger and defiance; you feed on your contention and instead of wishing well to those who have made it through hard strides, you deride,mortify and dehumanize anyone who has earned what you have not! Brother,you're going down the wrong road to make your existence so worthless... like a stone that keeps rolling down a stream without knowing where it will lead; brother,it's not hurting others that matters; it's depriving yourself of all that's good... to make your journey safe and painless!
