This poem, was in large part, prompted by the current situation with some of the American swimmers at the Olympics in Brazil. All actions have consequences. There is no "poor me" for your actions when you know what you're doing.

In Life By Franklin Price 8/19/2016 No matter what you say in life No matter what you do There's always someone watching Even if it's only you That little voice inside your head That says it's time for thought Reminds you that there's consequence From childhood you are taught Those little guys upon your shoulders One is good and one is bad Are vying for attention With the voice that's in your head If you hear the voice or feel the weight On your shoulders in a fight Then you have no real excuses 'Cause you know what's wrong from right The choices made are yours to own There's no one else to blame Is it good or bad you listen to When they both call out your name
