TURN LEFT OR TURN RIGHT

You have to make that decision
If you go right your future will be bright
And you will reach new heights
In your life you will be a great leader
And with all this racism you will be a great healer
You will never be a cheater
You will always be that  great dreamer
And in your self you will be a believer
Eventually you will be a great achiever
If you decide to go left
You will always be tested
Your life everyday will be some how affected
You may be the one that is always suspected
For some reason you may not be felt connected
And you will always will feel neglected
You realize you took the wrong direction
And now you change your mind and pick the right selection
It may take along time
To make that climb
And to stop all the bad crimes
Your heart says you can do it
If you just try to commit

A clear, uplifting poem about choice, consequence, and the power to redirect one’s life. The strong end-rhyme and forward-moving rhythm reinforce its motivational message, while the final lines offer a heartfelt reminder that commitment and self-belief can make change possible.
