I Chose This Road!

Truly I will lie,
Even if for a second I deny
It is for the love of money and fame, this I try
I must confess I love the two
The way you do
If not a little bit more
As I in the same breath admit as true,
I possess no allergy to the two.

But I regard as a folly
To travel the road you do
Which up to now I have been on too.
And I believe it’s difficult for you to buy
This tale that I tell
But to your heart I appeal
Hoping your vain pride this overcomes

I chose to travel this road
Because there’s a lot at stake
Something hard for some to get
After the hearts been drained
For years on end.
Money and fame we have sought
At the expense of our health and souls
And for them on friends and foes trod
Leaving behind a trail of blood and growls

Life is a road or so they say. But it matters what road you take... Feel free to give me your suggestions.

Oh amazingly honest message of you! I love the way you use the word road to express your position in life..But for me you can`t "love" money and fame...(just I think so), love has only one meaning and it`s for God or for person we love. But no one else can travel your own road, but you!

Money and fame we have sought
At the expense of our health and souls
