Don’t Follow Evil Paths
We all know what is good and bad so there is no excuse
In life’s journey, a path divides, A choice we face, where fate resides. To the left, the dark and twisted way, The evil side, where shadows sway.
Temptation whispers, promises wealth, Shortcuts to success, in stealth. But beware, dear friend, the price you’ll pay, For darkness claims its toll, day by day.
The path to success, it may seem clear, With wicked pleasures, ever so near. Yet in its depths, your soul will fade, Leaving only regret and debts unpaid.
Instead, choose the right, the noble route, Where integrity and honor sprout. Hard work and perseverance, your guiding light, Leading you to success, pure and bright.
The road may be long, obstacles will arise, But with goodness in your heart, you’ll rise. Resilience, compassion, virtues that shine, Will elevate you, standing tall, divine.
Remember, success is not a destination alone, But a journey where character is sown. Choose wisely, my friend, the path you tread, For in your choices, lies the life you’ll lead.
So resist the allure, the evil’s embrace, Welcome the good, with steadfast grace. For true success lies not in tainted gain, But in a life well-lived, free from bane.
Choose the path of light, let your soul thrive, In goodness and triumph, you will arrive. Success defined by the love you’ve spread, A legacy of kindness, long after you’ve shed.
In the end, when the curtain’s drawn, Your conscience clear, your spirit strong, You’ll find true success, a priceless prize, A life well-lived, where the good never dies.
