Right Strokes, Wrong Strokes Poem by John Sensele

Friends like anchors sustain
Threats like thorns hurt
Feelings like embers burn
Mouths like drivel drums trivia blurt
Brains like computers quadrillions of data process
Shocks like boulders break
Drugs like obsessions depress or stress
Ill conceived plans like poison wreck
Toxic relationships like neck millstones kill
Divine inspired decisions like magic wands work
Prayers like modern medicines heal
Cantankerous company like bile turns you into a jerk
Loving like a tender tonic performs
Hating like self immolation corrodes
Wide reading like machine learning informs
Most of all, a vivid vision opens a zillion roads
Think, plan and act right
Under no circumstances cut corners
Under God's guidance sail alright
And God upon you showers heaps of honours.
