Boy

Boy, would you ever

Grow up to be a man/

Sympathetic and unselfish;

Caring to those around/

Discard not your “other”

For she keeps you alive.

Or like a sin unconfessed,

Crawling every inch

Of your time,

You would be haunted

By visions,

That make you

Lose your mind.

The choice is yours;

Make up your mind,

And make it fast,

For there is a world

Calling out to you

Would you want

To be left behind/
