Be Saved or Tamed

Be Saved or Tamed

Confused 
at the crossroads 
you must choose—
whether to be saved or tamed.

Saved by the light in bottomless comfort.
Tamed by the dark design and devotion.

At the crossroads
there is no turning back;
you are bound 
to choose.

Either way,
there are no winners here.

By choosing, 
you lose the other path
for good.

So, what do you say?

Will you limp with light?

Or will you dance 
with devilish darkness?
