If youth is for pleasure,and age full of care, Then please take heed of the consequences, As you live your days in blank despair, Perhaps now is the time to become more pensive. A nihilist can only sow seeds of disaster, For himself and those who encounter his wrath, The rage of youth can be a hard beast to master, But success could bring a more rewarding path. It's sad to watch virtue descend into vice, But temptation knocks at every man's door, Learn before you have to pay a lasting price, Or spend your days,like me,regretting days impure. Return to the grace from which you fell, For a bad man's heaven is a good man's hell. 'Humankind cannot bear too much reality' T.S.Eliot |

Temptation surely does knock at every door. And indeed, the price one may pay can be devistating. Excellent message, Tony. Michael |

Too often when we are young we just react and live our lives later in regret. The thing is, dear one, in youth when mistakes are made and we learn from them we can give wise words as you have here with the hope that the one they are given too will learn from our mistakes. Well done. I hope your friend sees the love and wisdom you offer. Much love to you from me. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |
