OFF THE CHOSEN PATH

Folder: 
JOURNAL #11

where nosy, prying eyes can somehow hear

is where you will find a solemn luring

of one's natural fear

to believe that those who do so wish to know

will come to acquire the serving secrets of

his foe

an illegitimate child or a hush hush love affair

gone sour

give whomever the right of weapon and with it

he'll wield his purposeless power

honesty is far out numbered by the hands that

voted greed

many a man is only out for himself in a time

when too much is not enough to fill such

emptying need

where this so tempting tap to the darkness lays

is where the opinion by the collective few up

to no apparent good quietly stays

unknowingly 'Off The Chosen Path'............
