Accustom, do good,
By genes, by faith, by all means,
Like wind is our banes.
Liquor license for my rubbing alcohol
Fumes and vapors have me squinting like a mole
Open my window, let the wind blow through
A bunch of spiders came and crawled right to me
Shouting and stomping like a maniac
I squashed them all, covered in goo
of black
Looked through myself, right at the mirror
Who should really be the fearer?
Do good people kill spiders?
Mop up the viscera left on the floor
Some rubbing alcohol make the stink no more
I left it there for over a week
The time has come to be a clean freak
Lock the door, sit on the floor, and breathe in
Sterilize my mind and sanitize my skin
Guilt is a feeling, shames a disorder
But chemicals, they are my warder
Do bad people realize it?
There came a man with a withered hand.
They watched to see if he'd do what was banned
on the sabbath day.
But without delay
before them all Jesus summoned the man:
“Is it lawful to harm or to do good
on the sabbath?” As before them he stood.
“Stretch your hand hither.”
No more was it withered.
They conspired to destroy him when they could.
Mark 3.1-6
Did I do good today
well I woke up in my right mind
thinking about my friend Jesus
Did I do good today
Well I said to Him my savior
Did I do good today
I got down on my knees and I prayed
To the Lord please, please answer me
I got I gave to the poor
I reached out to my brother
And I gave my neighbor cover
I Loved My enemy like no other
So I just answered my own question
As I pray
Did I do good today
--and God said my son you're trying

If God just takes care of flowers and sparrows;
Then why can't we? His followers help take care of His sons and daughters;
We as people
All of humanity
Must learn to do good
We should
learn to do good for our fellow humans
We as humans need to help meet the needs;
Those urgent needs of our sisters and brothers;
We as people
All of humanity
Must learn to do good
We should
learn to do good for our fellow humans
Our people must learn to do good;
To all in and out of the neighborhood;
by meeting the needs of others;
Our fellow sisters and brothers;
For then and only then do this,
Shall they'll then not be unproductive;

Titus 3:14
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that.
I learned while traveling the seas
That they were A mean frat
With an endless rum vat
Which got them in to all kinds of troubles on their
Journeys.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
The worst one was a tit for a tat
On whoever was the appointee
In the government at the time got the full
Attention of the frat.
Usually it was some fat bureaucrat
Who was trying to do something on the QT.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
Yet, Once in a while they would slip up and expose
A government rat
Who got their large chest of bootie
Which the frat
Lost out on. Drat!
So much for being good time to sail
Off in to the sunset on to their next spree.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
They were a mean frat.
To right the wrongs he saw did Robin strive
It wasn't fair that peasants were so poor
He robbed the rich, helped keep the poor alive
Shot arrows sharp and swift, his aim was sure
Though honor's glory did not Robin lure
But that he left the world a better place
He died, a smile -- God's Grace -- upon his face
Iambic Pentameter
“Do good”* resonates God’s voice with His might for character-training
Along His refining for our behavior-change midst His wisdom’s enlightening;
Circumspectly, we should be taught from His prudent illumining
While we seek His lessons of Scripture learning.
“Lust not after the flesh!” reinforces the Father’s warning
Against our transgressing, trespassing, and sinning;
Meekly, we do repent with sincerity’s well-meaning
Bringing ourselves to His merciful control and compassionate restraining.
*1Timothy 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute…

Should we call him a man
A demon or a pervert.?
Should we pull out our detectors
For predator alert.
A MAN without sagacity
impaired from his salacity
Creating insanity, a threat to
earth and humanity
Has the audacity,
To pile up children to capacity.
Creating more insanity,
a threat to earth and humanity
Has the audacity to be smiling,
while piling up children.
Baby’s Snatched
From mommy’s arms
crying for their daddy’s.
Children stuffed in crates
All due to hate.
Now in jails filled to
Overcapacity.
What do good people do?
Do we only Watch?
And do nothing
As Salacious
Contaminates thrones
While sitting in
The seat of dignity.
Threatens integrity.
Can we at least Chant;
” God save our Morality”!
Can we at least Chant;
“God save our children”!
Do good
Lend an ear, lend a shoulder
Give your time, lend a hand
Show compassion, love and mercy
Judge not, rather, understand
Times are getting tough and darker
For humanity as a whole
Be a rock or an oasis
For at least one wretched soul
Some may even be ungrateful
What a pity, they don’t know
What’s in store for the goodhearted
Ignorance won’t make them grow
Disappointment or frustration
Disenchantment or regret
None of these should let you falter
Do what’s honorable instead
Give and lend, do so with pleasure
Do what is virtuous, don’t mind the rest
Don’t forget the holy promise
’Do good and you will be blessed.’
Wendy Nipas
The world has need of good men.
So why do they die so young?
Does God need them to fill a place up in heaven?
Or is he promoting them as in a song.
We shall have a crown-
And have golden slippers to wear.
In heaven, all is peace and joy,
No more burdens will we have to bear.
Oh! great one,I long for answer this day,
Why do good things terminate suddenly?,
And evil deeds prolong perpetually?,
This haunts and bugs me,for this is no play,
Oh!my beloved!why you left I can`t say,
This I know;you`re a gracious being.. truly,
Saddened as your life was cut abruptly,
Many beings like you wallowed in decay.
I do want to live long,should I do good?
why?as aura of death hangs around me,
Losing good fellow like you makes me nude,
Is it fate or what ? I want to be free,
Oh,great one! why?,why?...'I hate to be rude',
Why?are the pretty ones hang on a tree?
I will live my life
doing good
For i understand
The reason of doing
good
So wither with or
without a reward
I will live doing
good
The only power over
evil
Is to live doing
good
I will live my life
doing good
For goodness is love
Goodness will take
you
Higher and above
Goodness is kindness
Goodness brings
happiness
It opposes
selfishness
Goodness is
Godliness
So i will live my
life doing good
IT’S GOOD TO DO GOOD
There is freshness and an echoing of joy and peace in doing good.
The rewards are beyond any earthly values. If you could and would, I suggest you daily do some good.
Birth it, teach it, and even preach it. The world is slaking, and participating in too much relaxing. Restore its name and fame. We must let good reign.
There is a drum call for us to heed. Listen, can you see what’s missing. Look around. Avoid other sounds. Good should not be silenced. It’s time to start a revolution. Enlist, resist and persist.
Let good flow, worldly people. I know that you know. Sorry bad! We can’t take you anymore. Sign up today, don’t delay. Pledge to do good daily. Life depends on this trend.
Make Mother Good happy, allow her to live long, as life goes on. Shine on good, shine on long. Your day has come. Celebrate the four letter word “good” as you refresh in its goodness.
Dr. “G”
