Rhymes

Gun to my head,
Life to be led,
Men to be bred.

Stuck in a mould,
Tales to be told,
Children to hold.

Ending these days,
Awards to be praised,
Greetings to wave.

Filling a time,
Making a rhyme,
Forging a mind.

Where to go from here?
(Where’s the next step?
What’s the scenario?)

Gun in my hand,
Where do I stand?
I’m crossing the line.

The choice that I make
Decides my fate,
What am I to do?
