Instead Of Doing Wrong
The heaviest guilt inside
in never that easy to hide;
just think how the conscience
will react to a false pretense!
And instead of doing wrong,
you could have been kind
avoiding conflict and move along:
can untrue words rhyme in a song?
The laughter of a cheater
is always a heartbreaker:
when it contradicts belief
and leaves one in disbelief!
And instead of being jealous
you should be glad you have me;
get a clearer vision of what can be
and stop being so ridiculous!
The harm done can't be undone,
can an apology spare a loss?
Put down all the stones, it's your loss:
trust is not earned with a rude tongue!
And instead of doing wrong,
show your kindness, not anger;
admit that weakness is the worst fear,
admit that courage makes one strong!
