The Road of Life
I walk down the road of life
slowly leaving the town of birth
now nearing the city of death.
Along life, I see shortcuts to death.
One path had blades and knife
covered in blood and flesh.
Another led to a small clinic
filled with millions of pills.
There was a path that dropped into a deep, cold lake.
And one that was drapped in trees
from which ropes in tearshaped knots hung.
I know how to take these shortcuts.
I know it would be easier to take them.
But if I do
what will I miss on life's road?
I stand still
not walking forward in life
and stare at the shortcuts to death.
