A Call For Morality

A Call For Morality 

It used to mean something to hold open a door for your neighbor
 Old school principles have been long forgotten now it's just hate
 We looked up to hero's such as Roy Rogers & John Wayne 
 Values have been swept under the rug not to be appeared again
 Such as helping out at your local soup kitchen & church
 We base our morality today on what hollywood says to do
 Perhaps we have bitten off far more then we could chew
 Put the toilet seat down for the ladies in the house
 Have the cap fastened tight on the toothpaste
 Little things still mean a lot yet there fading away
 Talk to your children of morality & ethical principles
 Search for the hidden treasures in the scriptures
 We can be a voice as a beacon of hope to a hurting world
 Keep the golden your to love your neighbor as you would your self
 Remember to love & obey your parents
 Help the widow then come to the orphans in there distress
 You can make a big difference in life by shining your light bright
 Pray for the inner boldness to help make the big difference
 There is many things you can do to show your faith in action
 The ultimate choice is up to you to practice these basics principles
 Search for truth with all your might cause you have every right to know

Nice write Mario, good message, maybe good to spellcheck some errors, but great overall.
