Crossroads

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Crossroads
Edited  by: Sparkle Jordan
written: February/2014


If you choose
a 
negative path,

you'll
eventually
meet up
with
the devil,

way down
at the
crossroads - 

He'll smile;
shake
your hand

and
welcome
you
to the
other side -

Once
he's 
earned 
 your trust,

He'll
lead you
straight
to
HELL!

This
devil
will own 
you
for life,

If 
you don't
turn 
around,

and
face him
head-on -

Even then,
It'll be
a
challenge,

to
walk away
from 
the evil

that
lurks within 
you -

However,
your effort
to
save
your soul,

will 
pay off 
at
the crossroads -

You'll choose
the
right path  -

But
always know 
that:

If you choose
a 
negative 
path,

you'll
eventually 
meet-up
with the
devil,

way down
at 
the
crossroads -
