Take the Next Right Decision

Take the Next Right Decision 
David J Walker

Opportunity awaits at 
The right turn 
By experience I have 
Learned there is 
Nothing left worth
Fighting for on the 
One-way other 
direction corridor 
Take the right turn
As you yearn for 
Finally something good 
In life
The left is what’s left
In the strife of hasty 
Decisions
And bad directions from
Someone you really 
didn’t know all that well
But, what the hell
what do I have to lose 
I’ll take the next right
Hoping it might be what
I meant to choose 
Going left has always 
Left me confused
