The Paths We Choose

Beware the circle that will bring affliction,
If hearts unyielding choose not to repent,
In wickedness, one's days are poorly spent,
And evil's snares will lead to deep restriction.

The author of all sin will teach deceit,
He seeks to drag you down into the mire,
But hold to God, let righteousness inspire,
For saints who stand in faith make life complete.

See how the wicked spread their seeds of strife,
Their discord shadows every step they take,
While those who choose the light, true peace partake,
In righteous ways, they find the joy of life.

So choose your course on principles that last,
Avoid the misery of the wicked's past.

Cycle of the Circle

Watch out this circle will afflict.
If no repent it will restrict.
Groups of evil tend to distract.
Contention can't always be tracked.

Author of all sin instructs some.
Don't let him drag you through the scum.
Diligent in the sight of God.
Brings us around from being flawed.
