Public Virtue, Private Vice

Never in a million years
Would I choose a different road,
Never change my heavy load
Or switch to foreign fears
But the pleasure of the Treasure
Is far too great a price
To pay each day for slow decay
Is the effect of such a Vice!

Chan The Man This is a write that is honest and doesn't hold back any feeling. You wrote from deep down inside and showed your true emotion. Nice job Thanks for the sweet comment on my Crimes Of My Heart poem.
