Consequences

It’s dangerous out alone at night

'It won't happen to me'

The next day a corpse was found

Sadly, a girl had ceased to be

It’s dangerous to smoke cigarettes

'It won't happen to me'

The breathing problems then began

The coffin came from one oak tree

It’s dangerous to have unprotected sex

'It won't happen to me'

'I'm afraid your illness can’t be cured'

' It wasn’t worth it.’   ‘Too bad' - said he

'I don't want a child just yet

It won't happen to me'

‘You cannot turn back the clock

She’ll soon be sitting on your knee’

Taking drugs is dangerous

'It won't happen to me'

‘Your mind has become so damaged

 Reality will never now be free’

‘Why did I believe so long

It wouldn't happen to me?’

It’s too late to listen now

The results are here – for all to see
