Becoming Morally Impeccable

We can all begin each day with firm resolutions To do everything viewed as morally acceptable Not causing problems, being a part of solutions. Surrounding us already are too many pollutions Believe not that our good acts are imperceptible We can all begin each day with firm resolutions. One person, one deed can start a revolution Let it be from acts that are morally impeccable Not causing problems, being a part of solutions. We seek not for our moral goodness restitutions A fault to which so many humans are susceptible, We can all begin each day with firm resolutions. Thinking this way leads to awesome conclusions Everyone of us can be among the exceptional Not causing problems, being a part of solutions. The first step, I believe, is tomorrow’s execution Of the will to make ourselves morally accessible, We can all begin each day with firm resolutions Not causing problems, being a part of solutions. written July 19, 2021

"One person, one deed can start a revolution" this is why we all have to be willing to be that one person.
