Doing what's good
Be careful when someone asks you to do something that's wrong.
It could cause you your own life
Or lose sight of what's right
In the process of doing what the other person asks you
He is waiting to mess up your life
Only if you are foolish to do it
Search your heart
Before you mess up someone's life
For you have one too
If yours it wouldn't be right
One bad decision
Can change you today
No money in the world
Is not worth the pay
To throw your life away
Doing what others say
Causes you every kind of death
For you knew better or best.
When faced with this kind of test
You should pray or detest
About this poem
About making the right choices in a bad situation.
