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
