Poetry

Walk with owlish men and you will be wise,
A foolish companion will harm and despise;
Actually simply said, you are what you eat,
And just like all the friends that you meet;
Hanging out with guys who are only jerks,
That always turn up where trouble lurks;
Because of the peer pressure you agree,
Feeling as part of the group same pedigree;
To rob a store just gave a negative thought,
Even staying outside you also was caught;
Maybe you are not bad but found wrong,
Now in jail you do a chain-gang sing-along;
Choose wisely on who truly is your friend,
Someone who stays with you up to the end;
Someone that will guide you all of the way,
Leading you down the path as not to stray;
Choose the one with the wit and wisdom,
He will take you to the Heavenly Kingdom;
What a true friend we have in Jesus Christ,
No truer friend for you who was sacrificed.
