choose wisely, my son
for the day will come
when you’ll feel the sting
of the viper’s tongue
choose wisely, my child
though you are enticed
for there are two sides
to desire’s knife
choose wisely, beware
the deceptive snare
for there’s no escape
from seduction’s lair
choose wisely, revile
temptation’s skill
for its wine is sweet
while its venom kills
choose wisely, escape
sin’s war-torn strife
for wisdom will guard
your precious life
