Sonnet for a Friend If youth is for pleasure, and age full of care Then please take heed of the consequences As you live your days in blank despair Perhaps now is the time to become more pensive A nihilist can only sow seeds of disaster For himself and those who encounter his wrath The rage of youth can be a hard beast to master But success could bring a more rewarding path It's sad to watch virtue descend into vice But temptation knocks at every man's door Learn before you have to pay a lasting price Or spend your time,like me,regretting days impure Return to the grace from which you fell For a bad man's heaven is a good man's hell.Birth sign: Aquarius
