Where good deeds are done

Deeds are done and battles are won before the universe began, sometimes in remote places in the school room and board room of the ages, in the hallways of congress or when the newborn is milking its mother’s breast or sometimes in the basement of a stranger. Angry eyes stare at each other signaling that the universe is running out of water.  And man falls on his knees and cries out to the gods above and if the Gods see it fit, it will open the clouds and pour the rivers of heavens down and let it soak the ground.

Where good deeds are formed honors are born; where bad deeds are done man perish in his own scorn. You loiter in dark places searching for the modern ages; but no one can see what the future has waiting for thee. If you go before it or you lag behind, the sacrifice will be thine. The heart is displeased when you perform bad deeds, the universe is one of a kind and it is waiting in line so pay attention to the time and know what is divine.

Where good deeds are done the sun doesn't go down. Where good deeds are done, they don’t drink vodka, Osaki or ovenproof white rum; your heart knows when it's time to make that bet and you will feel the sweat. Predictions are waving in the skies, but reality will tell you where to go when heaven closes the show. 

I see them whispering in each other ears, exchanging money and moving chairs. I see them arguing over simple matters and sometimes disagreement drag them down into the gutter. It is the part of it that you did not see that comes back to haunt thee. A once in a lifetime chance is slipping away, and the moment is silently fading away. 

When deeds are done in secret places, the universe reveals its poker face; When deeds are done in open space man’s conscience burns where his heart fail to discern. Take me to sea and let her waves washes over me, where good deeds are done battles are won.
