LIfe's Pearl

 

When You say that "I Don't Care,"

 

what is it that you Mean?

 

That-You can care less about all the Pain you Bring; To me and others who Love you Dear?

 

Yet, your behavior causes Everyone Great Fear!

 

Your Attitude is 'Big', Alright and sure it gives me fright!

 

But for you, 'Cause of all the Unreasonable, and senseless things you do:

 

You're Heading on 'That Path!'

 

The Wrong direction, which leads to Wrath

 

of the Authorities, Parents, Aunts, Grandmoms, and dads, Uncles too.

 

All standing back and Gazing at you

 

Wondering Just What to do.

 

'THE DEVIL HAS POSSESSION OF YOU!'

 

You're so assured of the misguided things you do

 

To Jail, In Prison,

 

Is where those things will Land You.

 

Oh No, Not Juvy, your on your own. Your almost Grown, According to the law.

 

For there are Rules, You must abide

 

and they won't care about hearing your side:

 

You'll be oh so Guilty, Quicker than you can bat your eyes

 

Then, When you open them LOOK OUT!!!

 

Now here's your surprise:

 

Handcuffed and taken away, You'll soon be having your say,

 

on the Day you stand before the Judge

 

He may even be mean, and  Holding a Grudge.

 

Against You, and All other Youth who continuously violate the law

 

He'll slam that gravel, after given it to you RAW

 

They'll take you off to Jail ,where You'll await

 

to be transported and deposited behind those Big Prison Gates

 

Then you'll look around and cry

 

because you let your life go to waste

 

In the free world as you knew you let bad choices rule

 

But now you are in a different school

 

For people with Hard Heads

 

We all hope you learn, All lessons Anew

 

Now perhaps you'll listen to the Good folks tell you.

 

Listen Now, Don't make me Yell!

 

You can lose your Soul and end up in Hell

 

You've been given another chance

 

Please don't Blow it, Come on you know it.

 

Talk to God he's all ears You see, Repent and Pray his child to be

 

He'll  lead you down new Paths, Don't you want to escape his Wrath?

 

Let him into your heart, and you'll be free, You'll feel his Peace

 

He Loves you Best,

 

He'll be by your side through all of lives’ test

 

Give New Life a try

 

It only gets Sweeter, By and By
