Advice to the Young

Its the same familiar stories

Just told in different ways

After conversing with different type of people

You can't help but notice the similarities

Have you seen a man in his 40's

Acting as children do today

That'll be in your future

If You steadily let life slip away

Life is too short

You should spend it with the ones you love

Instead of reminiscing

With your cellmate about drugs

Get your life on track

Go to school and get a job

How do you think those people felt

When their out getting robbed....

One thing is true though

If you don't change the way you act

I'm sorry to have to inform you

That you'll most definitely be coming back

About the Creator

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
