Poetry: Lies

by Genalin Jimenez

Created on: October 04, 2009

When you have nothing to lose,

you do whatever you choose.
When you have nothing at stake,
you act for action's sake
When you have nothing to lose,
you go with the flow and let loose.
When you have nothing at stake,
you do what you want, no brake.
Yet, it is when you have nothing,
that you tend to lose everything
When you have nothing else to lose,
you bet with what you have left,
your honor, your self, your soul!
For the life of you, can you recall,
something BIGGER than your own soul?
So, take great care when deciding,
you just might end up losing,
the most important worth keeping,
your very essence as a human being.
