Be That Man
Will you help the child
That has fallen on the road,
That has given up?
Reached their defeated mode?
Will you help the girl
With tainted garments
With no way to catch
The flow from her bodily functions?
Will you stop to help
The little lost boy,
Who suffers from his parent's
mistakes,
From decisions which he did not
make?
Though good deed
Are nothing but rags
And do not admit you
Into the reserved riches of after-life
Will you be the man
Who knows the time and when
To bless the lives of others
That can do not a thing
In exchange for them?
