Quatrain of One Time Only

One Time Only - you've been given
only one chance

The next time you hear life
knocking on your door,
keep it closed, keep
it tightly
locked.

You have not proven to anyone
why you should be alive
or have justified
where you've
walked.

Your life has been all about you,
either a victim of
social wrongs or
discriminated
against,

I will let you off this time, but
I am going to do my best
to see a second chance
will not be
dispensed.
