If You Just Would

If you believe tomorrow's promised, you're a cursed soul. 
If you're spiritually blind, you'll never see the eternal. 

If you sleep with dogs, you'll wake up with fleas. 
If you stir a hive, you'll get stung by bees. 

If you're a sleeper, you better wake up. 
If you don't start moving, you'll never catch up. 

If you're indecisive, you jeopardize your moment. 
If you procrastinate, you may lose something important. 

If you point a finger, one points back at you. 
If you learn patience, you'll swim in virtue. 

If you speak the truth, you'll shame the devil. 
If you do the right thing, you'll shake-off evil. 

If you cut the grass, you'll spot the snakes. 
If you examine your fold, you'll know the fakes.
