Deserted Road
I walk alone, on this deserted road,
Lightened of a heavy load.
The sun shines down on my smiling face,
And I start to quicken my lively pace.
I suddenly stand still, and look on,
At a world of misconception, deceit, and con.
A world where you look after number one,
And when life is bad, you take up a gun.
And as I see these ugly things,
I also see surprises that life brings:
A walk in the park on a sunny day;
A mother wiping tears away.
Life is full of twists and turns;
Times when the truth stings and burns.
But when the pain won’t go away,
You must decide your own life’s way.
When it’s time for you to make the choice,
Make sure to listen to your inner voice.
Although others may walk far astray,
You can choose to walk the higher way.
This way is traveled by only a few,
And these few individuals see life anew.
This road is hard, but to joy is the key,
Come travel this road, and join me.
