VICES - WORTH THE PRICES?

Popular with friends, cool Dude often called

Girls hung around, all made up an dolled

Fags, drugs, alcohol – gambit of all vices

He indulged – array of addictive choices

Upbringing went down the drain

Relationships filled with stain

Life wasted, down to rags

Where did things go wrong, a question nags?

Every Mother nurtures her womb

Brings a child into the world

Only the best for them, she wishes

They change route and cross boundaries

Hospital rounds, medical bills come calling

Sick and forever ailing

Knocks on his door, comes death one day

Indicating this is the end of his stay

Is it worth? Life a gift – treasure it forever

Never tarnish its texture and color

Give it respect, embrace your existence

Mentors guiding you to take the right stance
