Can'T Beat the System

`They say if a good deed you do every day `It will in deed repay for love will pave the way `Some say and do not a famous prophet did say `Hoping to beat the system, but there is hell to pay `Many who walk not in love their relations do fray `Many a marriage crumbles, turns children’s lives gray `We reap as we have sown, and death will repay `We burn bridges behind, make war and we slay `We blame all on Satan, but it’s our hating clay `I’ll do my good deeds, sow good seeds and pray `A prayer, a good deed a day, keeps bad at bay `Good deeds, good seeds, every day love will thus weigh `We ask, we have not asking in vain of nay `We live strife on puppet strings of ballet `We feed on worldly evil like it’s a buffet `We judge condemning ourselves to decay `We lust and we scold, growing old of defray `Our evil dazzles us, surrounds in array `It is Love’s horse power we hook behind shay `We trust not love’s will gives a better day!! For contest: Good Deeds In Honor of Dane Ann

You're so right about reaping what we have sewn and yet people still blame evil on the devil. We hold the power within us to make good deeds proliferate. It has nothing to do with a devil but everything to do with spreading God's love. Great entry for Dane Ann's contest, John, and I wish you success. Love, Carolyn
