The Road

The Road



The road is dusty and dry.

It will make you lonely…. and make you cry.

You can travel for days and never be

anywhere…. you would wish to be.

The people you meet will steal you blind.

Those that don’t…. don’t come to mind.

The places you’ll see are dim and bleak.

The air you will breathe… will reek.

The road must be traveled alone

and walking…. like a complete unknown.

The women will tempt you in every way.

The best advice to you is …. just walk away.

Wear you heart on your sleeve and they will charm 

you until you lose it…. not your heart but your arm.

Spend a night with her and you will wake up naked and alone

or worse…. you won’t and she’ll become your millstone.
