The River of No Return

Beware of the streams of evil Feeding the river of no return. Where whatever gives us pleasure Is our only worry and concern. True happiness results from blessings Handed down from heaven to earth. God seems to smile on people in love Who have chosen to share their worth. Three types of humans occupy earth The bad, the not so bad and the horrible. Somewhere in-between, most us are And our babies are most adorable. Far too many become disappointing Mimicking adults as they stretch and grow. Lost somewhere in self indulgence In a world they have yet to know. Thanks to faith and spiritual teachings Multitudes follow the path of grace. The righteous are the hope of man As we journey the dangers of space. Reject what is selfish, cruel and unkind Steer clear of evil deeds without fear. Listen to the voice of God in man And you’ll remain more civilized and clear. By Tom Zart
