Public Virtue, Private Vice

Never in a million years Would I choose a different road, Never change my heavy load Or switch to foreign fears But the pleasure of the Treasure Is far too great a price To pay each day for slow decay Is the effect of such a Vice!

Chan The Man This is a write that is honest and doesn't hold back any feeling. You wrote from deep down inside and showed your true emotion. Nice job Thanks for the sweet comment on my Crimes Of My Heart poem.

"Truth" is a repeating theme in many of my pieces; I may be a little obsessed with it lol. Thanks for stopping by and reviewing, John :)
