Roads
The road to perdition is a ghoulish affair.
It will swiftly land you in the devil's lair.
The road to full circle is a pointless affair.
It will make you dizzy while you end-up nowhere.
The road to paradise is a wondrous affair.
It will encompass you with profound love and care.
The road to idleness is a boring affair.
It will stupefy you to vegetate and stare.
The road to misery is a selfish affair.
It will dissipate you leaving only despair.
The road to salvation is an inside-affair.
It will illuminate till you become aware.
The road to happiness is a kindness affair.
It will lift your spirits for everything you share.
