CAREFUL

Chukwunyere Chichi Grace

Rhymed
Careful! Careful!! Careful!!!

Please be careful; heed this call.
Careful, please, don't take the fall.
It may appear catchy, but not gold.
Careful, please, don't be told.

It's not what you think; don't be blind.
Look! Look!! Look!!!.
I warn in kind.

Look, please, and beware the guise.
To avoid being drained, open your eyes.

What do you find?
Sunshine or Shadow?
Sure! It's shadow, don't be slow.

Careful! Careful!! Careful!!!.
Please be careful; it's not too late.
Heed this warning; don't hesitate.
Careful, please; beware the shadow's fate.
