Joe Flach Poet Monorhyme

You Have the Power

A deed done good
Is done as it should
Bring help it could
To the brotherhood
The sisterhood
And the neighborhood.

A deed done bad
Makes all sad
It shouldn’t had
It’s positively mad
A passing fad
Begets, “Egad”

As the doer of the deed
These words please take heed
Of bad one’s there is no need
For good one’s we all plead
It’s your choice of course indeed
You have the power to pick the deed
I hope that you succeed

Gwendolen Song May 29, 2011 at 4:13 PM After watching the memorial service live from Missouri this afternoon, I am convinced the entire town is full of Good Samaritans--just as you wrote in this piece, they benefit the sisterhood, brotherhood, and finally the neighborhood. Empowering those to do good deeds makes this a very pleasant poem indeed. Gwendolen
