Sun Shines On the Righteous
Pray, be good, do good, think no evil
Do no evil, see no evil
Pray, in the unrighteous, do derive not any sort of thrill
For, do remember that the Sun shall shine on you, as does it will
Should you want to harm others
The winds shall change their course
And on yourself shall be struck loads of disasters
Pray, do mind this Earth's great curse
It does say that as you do so shall you reap
So pray, on your enemy's fate, do weep
Do even pray for his good keep
Such shall help you climb out of this dirty pit into which you have fallen deep
Mind, shall you take on the path of goodness
With more and more of the sun's rays shall you be blessed
Such says this rightful note
That the sun does shine on you when you do choose to be right
Adverse may seem this note
Adverse when this world with adversity has been wrote
But pray, do remember that the Holy Books do speak of being good
Do remember even that for us, sinners, the great Son did shed His blood
Selfless we should all be
Selfless, humble and full of mercy
For the example of that Son we should all follow
Why, by acting such, you would help to make of life's journey, a pure flow
Righteousness does mean having no malice
No jealousy, no greed, no evil
No harmful intents, no dark skill
Righteousness does imply being made of love and grace!
