Believe in what is right for You!


Bob was at a party one night.

Some scary gang members gave him a fright.

They said try this incredible crack.

Bob knew that the idea was wack.

 

One drug pusher said, "give it a try".

He said, "it's easy as pie".

Bob said, "heck no".

"I think you better go".

 

But the very next day.

The gang members were back to say,

"you are making a big mistake".

"If you don't join us, your arm we will break".

 

Bob almost peed his pants.

then he gave the gang a glance.

Bob said, "leave me alone".

Then the gang broke his phone.

 

The gang said "now there's nothing you can do".

"If you don't take this crack, your life will be through".

Bob said, "it's a big horrible sin".

Then they gave Bob a mean mean grin.

 

The gang members gave a big sigh.

The very next morning.

The television was boring.

Except for the terrible news.

 

One of the gang members was found

lying dead on the ground.

Bob was happy for what he didn't do.

Now his life isn't through.
