Consequences
Choices you make in life, kid, especially abominable
Ones eventually lead you down the road to perdition
Never keep dangerous company; it could cost you your life!
Stay far away from such ilk; look the other way.
End friendships with bad influences, quickly.
Quit handling weapons that could end your life in an instant!
Unsheathe not the sword of damocles for you could...
End up beheading yourself. Remember, safety first!
Nice and easy now...you know swords aren't toys!
Child, please heed my admonitions before it's too late.
End your careless flirtation with disaster, or...
Suffer the consequences. You reap what you sow.
If you live by the sword then you die by the sword Poetry Contest
