Why do we abuse our bodies, <br />when we are young, <br />with alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, <br />and eating too much food? <br />We never see the consequences of our actions, <br />until it is too late. <br />By the time some of us realise, <br />we are passed the point of no return. <br />Those who get a warning, a second chance, <br />had better listen and take heed. <br />Teach the young the lesson. <br />We only get one chance, <br />better to learn it while your young, <br />than never learn it at all. <br />You only have one life, <br />better live it to the full. <br />Don’t desecrate your body, <br />you’ll need it when your old. <br /> <br /> <br />12 October 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-chance-2/
