People

Why do people act the way they do
We are all Gods children if some only knew,

The devil takes hold of people and craves greed
God said; only take what you need,

People don't always follow the rules
So they use others money and look like fools,

Some souls feel they have to impress
Most of the time they are upset due to all the stress,

If people can remember this little verse
Then maybe they won't feel that they are cursed,

People have a tendency to think
That when they die their okay because they don't believe there is a link,

Maybe it is we can never not say
Once we are gone maybe it has to be this way,

Just be happy that your time on earth will hopefully be long
Because when that time comes it is not going to matter who was right or wrong.
