Golden Rule

1/28/15



What is the golden rule?
Don't let the money grab control and hold of you
Unless you think being full of yourself and having a heart of coal is cool
After a goal or two
You now think your too cold to fool
When you roll through in an old school
But the galaxy's inhabitants souls grew
After taking in the whole view
What was originally told true
Turned out to be another trick for a stolen jewel


It's easy to anger and speak before thinking when you have input
But use your brain and think about all the sacrifice your ancestors and kin took
During an ice age as branches moving in the wind shook
Why is it such a big deal to focus on appearances and how another's skin looks?
You decide what to believe in books
