before you fall into <br /> the trap of ignorance get knowledge <br /> before you step into a hole of stupidity <br /> watch your step <br /> before you run into a brick wall <br /> check your speed <br /> before you refuse to help another <br /> check the permanency of your self sufficiency <br /> before you overload your life inspect your cargo <br /> why run to and fro seeking peace <br /> why get sucked into a vacuum of sin <br /> the time is now to stop and listen <br /> why glory in that earthly stall <br /> heed your maker's call before you fall<br /><br />Frances Jackson Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-you-fall/
