What To Fear

If all mankind's wishes, would join forces
Earths people would have no evil to fear
Children wouldn't live or learn of hunger
because all newborn babies would thrive
But, all humanity lives in fear of an evil
That mankind hasn't learned to control
A wrath suppurates and silently churns
In the dark heart, of a broken man's soul
Only when humanity learns the lesson
As "The Great Spirit" of Earth revealed
The sole evil in life people have to fear
Lurks in the darkness, found in yourself!


The lesson:

Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect.
Remain close to the Great Spirit.
Show great respect for your fellow beings.
Work together for the benefit of all Mankind.
Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
Do what you know to be right.
Look after the well being of mind and body.
Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
Be truthful and honest at all times.
Take full responsibility for your actions.
