Choices, Voices and Bad Company

Choices, Voices and Bad Company Bang , bang , gunshots in heated night air sang jump back , be careful where you nightly hang Fun, fun , going where the night action stays danger waits hidden when nights replace days! Kick it, kick it, time to chase the gals beware safety gone if you hang with pals So carry a shooter , step up your game name in the paper soon may be your fame! Hold on, hold on, your future life has game you grab future rejecting drugs so lame Stand up , a man that carries his own weight yield not to greed, lust and all useless hate! Live on, living to find your star and shine Live on, love in life , love so very fine! Robert J. Lindley 08-24-2014 Note: A sonnet that presents today's life choices are often far more serious when made than young people can realise. Seeking action and thrills always come with a cost. Quite often a deadly cost! Don't freely decide to get yourself so lost! Been there, down that, long ago..

If only they would listen, Robert. Often youth feel that they have to try their wings and think they will be invincible. This is sage advice indeed. Hugs
