Bad Choice

January 14, 2014

The age of 8, what a ripe time of life.

But this boy,

burdened with empty glass bottes?

Bottles that lie on the pavement next to an unconsious hand, nothing more to drain....

He was strong, from carrying his father. Everybody knew.

But was it a shame?

This boy, he leared at a young age.

Bad choices, they have ways of teaching us.

We must be willing to learn.
