Run Away

Don’t step out
in front of that car.

I know you want to run
but you won’t get far.

It’s time to face
the trouble that you caused

even though your feelings
are on a see-saw.

The destruction
you left in your wake

will have to be rectified
for everyone’s sake.

No one will
offer you a hand

if your head
remains buried in the sand.

You have one
last chance of salvation

but only if
you quit your protestation.
