Linger just awhile young friend
Let not impatience cause you to stray
I have a story with you I'll share
Tarry awhile hear what I say
I too was once as young as you
And strange to you though it may seem
Like you I looked to stars above
And dared to dream the brilliant dream
I sang and joked and laughed aloud
I danced as young hearts do
At your age I was bulletproof
There was nought I could not do
But then a change of attitude
And my life turned inside an hour
I dealt the cards and took my chance
And stood and watched my world turn sour
For I had decided I could be
The greatest armed robber in history
live my life outside the law
Leaving behind my poverty
And so I threw my past away
And played the game so fast and free
My mothers' broken heart neglected
I rode on notoriety
Throughout the states with much disdain
The feds I led a merry dance
But time and tide at last ran out
And once more life was left to chance
Under a street light shining bright
Deaths dark angel entertained
A thousand bullets pierced the night
And my life flowed into a drain
Be not sad yet don't condemn
This life I shared with you
The world I strode was just a stage
Sadly I was cast a fool

Entertaining write, with enjoyable rhymes.
I don't think i've come across an armed-robbery moral before . . .
Thanks for sharing. |

This is unique... and sad. A well presented, though depressing, story of bad decisions and lessons learned the hard way. I like the way the message is delivered - not too 'in your face' but not at all difficult to understand. Very nicely done!
May you always go right at each fork in life's road,
SNM
