When it comes down,
To whats right and whats wrong.
How do you decide,
What you need to move on?
When it comes down,
To sacrifice or gain,
Do you do whats best for you,
Or do you give yourself a better name?
Purified or polluted,
Laced or pure.
Which is more enticing,
What would feed the cure?


Hey guys- This just came to me one day..i think you can look at it in a few different lights...hope you like it..

interesting word choice, i really liked the way this piece flows.  i think i'll have to come back and look at this again, it deserves some contemplation   keep posting your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

When it comes down,
To whats right and whats wrong.
How do you decide,

Love the flow, and word choice. To me, you did a great job of showing how hard it is to make choices now days. No one wants to screw up. Many times, we look into the past, wish we could go back, and do it over with the knowledge we have. Unfortunately, we can't do this... Well enough with my rambling. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for posting it.

A good poem to ponder over...short, but thoughtful and reflective. ^_^ The ryhme scheme was nice, and the flow wasn't too bad. A really well done poem! ^^;

Very nicely done!  I loved the rhyme and meter to this piece.  The flow worked out perfectly.  Very hard questions you're asking with this... ones I could never find the answer to.  But if you do, be sure to email me...
Job very well done.  I'm impressed!

There is no right or wrong sometimes, because what you feel is right isn't always what other's feel is right.Or sometimes when you choose what is right it turns out being wrong.But anyway this poem really makes you think and I love it.

So true!I know what you mean.These days it's hard to do what's right, because who is to say what is right for you? Society's moral standards are diminishing, because people are beginning to follow their heart. Excellent piece...You brought up an important value.
