Wrong Choices

When after a drink or two
You take a Harley ride,
This one thing is very true -
You are asking for Suicide.

When all your life you smoked
And you find your lungs are aching,
If you do not get a Stroke -
It's from Cancer you'll be dying.

When you're not due for surgery
But you ask for Anesthesia,
Well, the end is a certainty -
Your family will be grieving for you..

The lifestyles that you take
Eventually lead to your exit -
Health issues you forsake
Later clicks your life to 'Delete'.

'Life is a coin. You can spend it any way you wish but you can spend it only once.'
