Keep Out of Trouble (Avoid the Pain) - poem

We met in a club, listening
to kick-ass music.
You got introduced to me
by someone I know.
Now I am here walking
you to the bus home.

It's hard not to help
someone when they are down.
I couldn't live with
myself if you fell down.
So keep out of trouble
when you go out to town.

When you fell and stumbled
I helped you to your feet.
When it became apparent
you needed more help
than I could provide,
I called the Skytrain cop over.

It's hard not to help
someone when they've fallen.
I couldn't live with
myself if you were hurt.
So keep out of trouble
when you go out again.

(bridge)
When drink is not in
moderation, it overwhelms.
When passion is out
of control, it sucks you in.
Few people can withstand
the fate of karma.

It's hard not to help
someone when they've fallen.
I couldn't live with
myself if you were hurt.
So keep out of trouble
when you go out again.

So keep out of trouble
when you go out again.

Just keep out of trouble,
and you will avoid the pain.
