Poetic Podcast Episode 14 Bop

It is said ‘Harm none do what you will.’
Get what you give should be expected;
Then why do some become parasites 
wearing down warm welcome mats?
How are they able to sleep at night 
making so cringey a decision?

Loyalty, kindness, and a moral compass 
should not be a trailblazer’s feat;

A smile morphs into manipulation,
would you like that done to you? 
It doesn’t take religion to see
the benefits of human decency.
Tap, take, and leave the well dry 
is not how you should treat a person;
No matter how this trend is escalating
put bluntly it’s a form of abuse;

Loyalty, kindness, and a moral compass 
should not be a trailblazer’s feat;

Trailblazer’s feet remain inflamed 
setting a fire where there was none;
Innate desire to pay blessings forward  
that behavior should be the norm;
Basic practice includes gold conduct,
we all are capable of being honest; 

Loyalty, kindness,and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat.
