    A 2nd Chance

     As a young man
    I often made
    decisions in haste

    Broke the law on occasion
    most of my time I wasted

    Drank things that were wrong
    and smoked things even worse

    and every other word
    out my my mouth was a curse

    But I have aged quite a bit
    and looked back on my days

    and I know for sure now
    that I have changed in my ways

    I have given up liquor
    and now do not smoke

    and the fires from my past
    are all but a smoke

    so I ask of you now
    do not judge me from then

    I am a better man because
    of the places I've been

    This world is song
    and I would like the last dance

    can a man who was once bad
    please get a 2nd chance.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
