Best Morals Poems
Listen not those who preach
follow those who lead with actions
Hitler loved flowers
Gandhi loved peace
know thyself; is your life on the right track
aligned with, refined by, the principles of dharma
refrain, abstain, be kind and be calmer
meditate, seek meaning: find moral momentum
all actions count on this trip to nirvana
Morals, Morality and Ethical Direction…
We often hear of morals, morality and ethical direction.
What they mean, I suppose, is “one’s discretion.”
Very seldom, is anything from the Bible being heard.
Why obey God’s commandments? Why, that’s absurd!
Many claim, that as adults, just about anything is “o.k.”
As long as you don’t do what they do, but what they say!
Many are “bombarded” with sexual type of temptations…
Often leading many to get into perverse addictions!
We set up boards of people to try to be “ethically clean.”
When it comes down to it…
What does this really mean?
Can a person be totally immoral, but 100% ethical?’
Does this, in some way, seem kind of “heretical?”
Why believe in God? He’s been ruled
“unconstitutional.”
While many listen to the news,
which is often “delusional!”
We hear of perversions, that are often “glorified.”
Do we hear of those wanting
to be Godly sanctified?
If you’re confused, and need some kind of spiritual guide!
Look to God’s word! He has nothing to hide!
The kind of morality and ethics that you’ll ever need…
Can be found in the Bible! Open it and read!
Why not read from Genesis through Revelation?
We can all find what we need! Across our nation!
God and his word give us a true moral compass for living!
His life for our own lives, is what he’s freely giving!
Won’t you come to Jesus for godly direction today?
He is here! And wants to help you find HIS way!

Grandpa
My grandsons,
Lee, Eoin, Christopher, Rowick.
A boy needs a Grandpa,
for man-to-man talks.
To go hand in hand,
on companionable walks.
To fix up his toys,
when they no longer go.
To tell him the things,
little boys want to know.
A boy needs a Grandpa,
to show him the way.
To handle a puppy,
to teach him fair play.
To impart bits of wisdom,
he's learned through the years.
That it's no disgrace,
for a man to shed tears.
A boy needs a Grandpa,
to sit on his lap.
And if no one is looking,
they take a wee nap.
Each wrapped in an aura,
of love and esteem.
Each smiling gently,
at some special dream.
Ask me not where, when, why or how
Because if I knew I’d be president now
Wait a minute, presidents don’t know that too
I never said they did, but I have morals. Do you?
As a child, morals are all about black and white,
Will this hurt them or give them a fright?
It was simple back then when everything was either right or wrong,
Those days are now long gone.
The days where our Mums would tell us what do,
Help guide us all the way through.
They were all don’t steal, don’t lie,
We’d do something wrong and get to ask ‘why?’
Gone are the days where things were either good or bad,
Where if you did something wrong you could run to your dad.
He would give you lecture, just a little speech,
Where in it the difference between right and wrong he would teach.
It was all about being nice and caring,
If you were cruel you had to be daring.
It was easy to know what to do and how to be polite,
We’d smile and be good before going to sleep for the night.
Now look at us now, in a constant confused state,
Is it good? Is it bad? Is everything fake?
There are little grey areas hidden in every topic,
No one even knows for sure how to stop it.
Everyone has a different opinion to base on what to do,
On how to live and see this life through.
Its all dependent on what you want or believe.
We were always told if you do good things, great things you’d achieve.
Now that were older the morals are all different,
Life had made some of us wiser and others ignorant.
Really it comes from one thing, one thing is how it starts.
Simply put morals come from what you let rule your heart.
Losing a friend is truly the worst
that’s happened to me yet,
especially when I see your face
and voice filled with regret.
A face I hoped to see each day,
always in your smiling way.
A voice I’d know in any crowd,
no matter be it soft or loud.
I could see it in you if somehow
you caught a break,
the person deep inside of you
instead of just the snake.
If someone just believed in you
in any circumstance,
maybe you’d believe it too
and gave yourself a chance.
I think you knew early on
that I could see your game,
masterfully playing your role
without an ounce of shame.
The times we shared
when lies were spared
I honestly thought true,
I saw something special
past the bullsh** part of you.
Something different drew me in,
I knew you from the start,
but foolishly I convinced me
you wouldn’t break my heart.
I grew blind while wined and dined
awed by your snake charm,
but I thought I was special,
so why should I fear harm?
I knew you were capable
of doing such a thing,
but I didn’t think
that I would ever
be the one you’d sting.
Then one day you turned away
because the time had come to pay,
a promise made in trust as friends
would drag us to a bitter end.
My friend if you could just believe
the image you project,
aground of morals, confident pride
and integrity to protect.
Instead you hide, still terrified,
that you just might succeed
to be the one your biggest fan
believes you still can be.
Though I’m still in disbelief,
lost inside a grayish grief,
my dignity would win the day
through strength and courage to walk away.
Despite the pain there’s still some things
I know I won’t forget,
‘cause losing a friend is truly the worst
that’s happened to me yet.
~Jeannie Cronin
To behave - to conduct- demean or acquit
To act , conduct one's self in a proper manner
Your behavior - Are you moral? Manners are they good?
Deportment ? your conduct! Is it with honesty?
Gods way of morality! Conducting being capable of managing
Managing your personal behavior - power of the mind
The way you act! Moral conduct! Challenging
Behaviorism - theory of - to speak with kindness
Verbally of intelligence! Spoken of clear words
To set an example - of no vulgarity with integrity
To behave - Moral conduct moral laws
Lord what do we intend to believe?
To mind the law - Hear no evil , speak no evil
See no evil - Who do you behave? Management?
Are they Loyal - honest, trustworthy or moral?
What about cops? Do we have that the law?
Do they or are they moral ? of good conduct?
Do they mind the law themselves - parents
Are they loyal? Moral of good conduct? I saw
My life today - Morals to be found obsolete
The dilemma - walking down the street today
What are you doing when no one is looking?
Were you moral - trustworthy ? Who do you believe?
A moral life - Gods way we want to achieve
Behavior health ? Psychology - Do we mind them?
Are they trustworthy - honest - loyal of moral standards?
Do they mind the law - mind verbal clean language?
Here we go ! Over and over time after time again
What do you behave? Moral conduct! When?
Sojourner to far-flung climes;
When you return,
Will you remember the evening songs
Chorused by chirping under the baobab tree?
Will you still remember the fame of the great hunter
Whose courage put the forest sprite to flight?
Earning him the most beautiful virgin in the land
When you return,
Will you remember the fable of the wraith
That forced our forefathers away from the farm at dusk?
Will you still dip your hands in “Aro” to make “Adire” for our dear mother?
Will you?
The market still a beehive of activities
Every market day is as rustic as you left it,
Our women the same, untainted by the new ways
Our men have not also faired any better,
Still suspicious of the innovations of the town people
Our children are not ashamed of showing off their beauty for the world to see,
The harrowing cries of our virgins still pierce the night,
As they fall under the mutilators knives
Will you still remember how to savor “Iyan”
Pounded with the sweats of the maidens and
Molded with “Egusi” from earthenware?
When you return,
Will you not now be repulsed with “Ila”
That soup which you handled with such mastery with “Amala”
The leaves from the forest still keep us strong and virile,
Their medicines have not offered any hope to all our ailments,
When you return,
Teach us not new things about our Land
O sojourner,
When you return from the distant land of subjugation
That dungeon that robbed us of our cultures and creeds
– Aro:- A local dye
– Adere:- A fabric made with “Aro” it is popular among Yoruba people of western Nigeria,
– Iyan :- A paste for food made from Yam
– Egusi :-A soup made from the melon seed
– Ila :-A gelatinous soup made from Okra
– Amala :-A paste for food made from Yam flower
Life is what you make of it.
Happy or bittersweet it can be.
Approach me with a pale of stones
and I shall reproach you with a whisper of faith.
Never speak of your negative qualities.
Man can change his ways.
In a moment at any given time.
Only tell me what is good of you.
Hopefully your actions are constant.
Jesters only kind.
I don't care about your symmetry.
Nor, your wealth.
What I want from you is truth.
Trust is my need.
Fickleness is not my commodity.
I don't want your alibi.
Good moral attributes are a stimulate.
Character is what mankind needs.
Materialistic astringent qualities must leave.
Spiritual values I only heed.

It has taken me time to get to here,
a journey of pieces, fragments I grasp;
I have climbed up life's mountain- every tier !
Good morals, values and wisdom - I clasp,
I now have perception of who I am;
all bad negativity I unclasp !
Oh, I dislike deception and flimflam,
and my philosophy is to stay calm;
I stay with my doctrines and my program !
Truth, patience and composure is my balm,
I was brought up to know the right from wrong;
there are times when stressed that I read a psalm !
I find this way of living makes me strong,
my beliefs are simple- love everyone;
peace, love and harmony is my life song !
Don't want my life to be a hit-and-run,
I, often refine perception- insight
no wish for my life to be a rerun !
When I fall, fail I stay always polite;
and will clear my mind to look for the light !

Written for the contest, It's a part of me-
Life and the perceptions and philosophies you hold,
sponsor, Silent One
First Place
A princess in a ballroom
Is every girls dream
Playing it over in our heads,
detailing the scene
A prince at our side
Determined to swoon
Confessing your the most perfect
one in the room
This is what's expected
Until we grow up
And find our dream has decided to
disrupt
Decided to change course
Causing more ache
Now we can't breathe without being
plunged with a stake
Or being rejected
Our only other option
Forsaking the world or choosing
adaption
Most choose the latter
Loosing there virtue
And cling instead on what guys
believe are true
Like "You're bangable that's for
sure
But certainly not what I would date
For girls are nothing more than
meat
An appetizer on our plate"
And instead of disagreeing with their
fact
Setting out to prove it false
We believe these lies and comprise
Decide to be used up, then tossed
But at what cost?
Is it really so wrong?
Just following the pattern of
american love songs
Craving to feel loved from this pitiful
world
Just to follow and become an
ordinary teenage girl
Now feeling alive and fresh in my
skin
Not focused on how guilty I feel
within
Could it really be sin?
But its so fun
Pursuing the guy till you find out
you won
Until the job is done
And you watch him leave
Now aware you stitched your heart
on your sleeve
And he's tore it off
Threw it in the dust
Tell me world, is this pain a must
Can it be fixed?
No it's too late
Might as give myself to the next
heartbreak
Now i'm stuck in the cycle
Caught in the mold
But too scared to step out, not
daring to be bold
Now my heart is cold
Thy soul is stone
Going from guy to guy yet feeling
alone
Following the lie
This is the only type I catch
Besides, there's no such thing as a
God destined match
Simple friend with benefits
But no one benefits
Following the status quo
Just tell him no!
What are values and what good do they do?
Simply they are standards we know that need to be followed, ones we know to be true.
They are not made to be hurtful, quite opposite in fact,
They are free for all and to be used with diplomacy and tact.
Little things like respect can set you apart,
Kindness towards others is a great place to start.
Never look down your nose at others less fortunate as you,
Sometimes all that is needed is a hand and someone to show them what to do.
Many a great man has slipped and taken a spill,
But it was a bigger man that helped them to their feet and climb over that hill.
We hardly ever see someone’s potential as well as we see their mistakes,
Those that do are the ones that know the value of sharing the cake.
Values and morals they all hold a place,
And help us each day to better our lives and stand up to the problems we face.
They give us a sense of direction as to what is right and what is wrong,
Without certain values we are lost and that is an altogether different song.
Where Are the Godly Morals?
It’s not too often that I
hear complaints.
Regarding the lacking
of moral restraints.
It seems like many are under
some kind of a "curse."
What's right or wrong?
It seems to be getting worse!
Where are the moral leaders
this nation needs?
As the soul of this nation continually bleeds.
Many churches provide
little discretion.
Pretending to be "Godly" ... yet no moral direction.
No wonder many people don't
know what to believe.
A lifestyle of lying, drugs and
sex is what they receive.
In many lives, they have
no "moral boundary."
Many carry a load of "dirty laundry."
To those of you who want
satisfaction and victory too...
There is a "moral compass"
that's freely offered to you!
This "moral compass,"
is God's word...a solid foundation!
Which speaks of HIS love
and his gift of salvation!
If your life is filled with hurt,
and has no true meaning.
It's in the direction of Jesus
you need to be leaning!
You don't have to live in
despair and defeat.
Allow God’s word to
make your life complete!

ethics mold our core being
our well-founded standards
embrace morals and values
and not follow one’s feelings
nor “what society accepts”
every equation has two sides
let knowledge prevail
