Dreams Demand Good Choices Poem by Sirpheno The Knight

As I click around our WorkShops
I can plainly see
The number of people with problems
Are more than you and me.

A young unwed mother
Has delivered # 8
Says she deserves more food stamps
Can’t she see, she chose her fate? .

Her sister on the other hand
Chose a different fate
Finished school with honors
Her life is going great

Over there is a young man
Left to die out in the street
Who instead of trying to find a job
Found a man he couldn’t beat.

His brother went to college
And put on quite a show
got a job with the TOP 500
Of one he is CEO

Look at that mother who lost her son
To his last over-dose
Instead of her love he chose a needle
That is truly sad and gross.

See that woman over there
The one with the smile upon her face
That is her daughter walking beside her dad
In a white gown and frilly lace.

We all make our own decisions
Our lives are based on the ones we choose
Dreams demand good choices
Choose the wrong ones and YOU LOSE.
