Choose the Way

When you make your grand decision,
which will be your final path?
I advise you, O' my brother,
Always do the math.

Will you walk a road that's broken?
Might a tremor make you fall?
Perhaps you could be forsaken!
You don't want this end at all.

Will you tread along the middle?
Could this truly be the way?
The broken road is yet expanding!
Listen to the words I say:

Take the road of steady footing.
Heed the warnings on the rails.
You may feel it is restrictive,
but, at least, your life won't fail.

Yes, my brother, choose the way.
The time is urgent! Don't delay.
