it's generally accepted that
water will douse a fire
and that fire will boil water
what if they find a happy medium
and just make steam instead?

if you breath too much air
into a balloon
it might explode!
what's more likely:
you will just faint
why didn't you pace yourself?

if one is biking downhill
and their brakes break
could they ask their bike
to slow down?
a nice sentiment indeed
but it's unlikely
inertia will have her way
even if it makes that bike ride
your very last day

just keep in mind
there's always a happy medium
where both sides could win
if you'd rather ignore the cycle
go ahead and live in your sin

but I won't hesitate to tell you
i told you so
