Two Choices...One Chance
~~by Nathan S.
You got one shot...One chance...Two choices...
Do you steal the cookie from the cookie jar?
Hoping your won't get caught?
Or do you do the right thing and wait patiently
For your mom to get home and ask permission first?
One chance...Two choices...
Do you accept the smoke from your most trusted friend,
Knowing you are not of legal age?
or do you walk away, thinking about losing a friend forever?
One chance...Two choices...
Do you steal your very own parents' money,
Knowing you can't pay them back?
One chance...Two choices...
do you smoke the marijuana,
Hoping the cops won't catch you?
or do you turn down your so-called friends?
One chance...Two choices...
So there you go - What is your choice?
