Ten Things Not To Be

Don’t be cold
For life is too short

Don’t be jealous
For there comes hatred

Don’t be sad
For it is better to be glad

Don’t be fighting
For there be wars

Don’t be blinded
For the blind will see

Don’t be judging
For there is justice

Don’t be greedy
For the poor who hunger

Don’t be crying
For there be floods

Don’t be lying
For the deaf will hear

Don’ be afraid
For there is God
