An husband who wanted to stray
Complained to his wife everyday
But she understood
For the common good
There was just one word and its, "Spay!"...

my wolf self is amused by your efforts
to dissuade my loyal friends
they know my heart,
seeing I work for the common good
you are welcome to join us...

To Thee, with all my heart I pray, my Lord,  an enormous favor to ask

Let us on earh, the common good to seek - make it be- our main task!

The time has come my loving siblings
 
To put the common good above all

And show that we care for each other

To avoid thus bringing Man's downfall!

There's too much civility hanging out here
Will try to create mayhem while drinking a beer
For the common good
Will do what I should
But it may be too much for this mortal so mere

In life,

Love ought to be, our motivation

Humanity, our concern

God, our inspiration

If 

We wish a better world to build,

Everything we think, say, or do

Should be aiming at the common

Good!

Oh, empathy,

you divine child of love,

I implore Thee to help me sacrifice my

self-interest

on

the altar of common good

for

humanity's sake!*

Oh, Empathy,

you divine child of love,

I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our

self-interest

on

the altar of common good

for

only in this way mankind could put aside

their differences and find solutions

for

the benefit of us all!

Emma was the name of my best friend
Once long ago in grammar school.
We learned, played and ate together.
Even our lunches we would pool.

When school reopened in the fall,
I looked for her.  She wasn't there.
I knew nothing of schools rezoned
Or of adults who didn't care.

Nor how a beloved friendship could
Be sacrificed for common good....

Main Street had a classic pool hall,
Hustlers, chisellers, and those who like to fool all,
Second-hand stores along the way,
And the old Helen's Grill greasy spoon café.

Now, Main Street's no longer the same;
Developers and yuppies have changed the game.
They say it’s all for common good,
But the oldsters miss their good old neighbourhood....

The Flirt

My volcano froze along with me in time and space
Your eyes just stopped me in my place
I am too shy to ask your name
I’m so glad you came
Please just stand there for a moment
For the common good
For all mankind to see how good you look
And honor me with this dance
Simply tell me if I have a chance

What I have in my bag
is a very glittering gift
I want to enjoy it alone
but something says “back off”

This gift in my bag is golden
no human can resist egotism
to share is a nightmare case
all I desire is enjoy it alone

Truly much love I have for it
but it is not my thing alone
people gave it in good faith
yet in bad faith I possess it 

For common good power is 
but an opium it is once got...

Economic Grows Theory  
A forest is beautiful to look at, it also has animals jumping 
about not being productive for our common good.
So we chop down the trees and make timber, never mind 
the animals they are dangerous anyway; who wants to risk
being attacked by a puma. On the cleared space we can build
 houses made of the former forest´s timber, this will give 
employment for many and that is good for mankind....

A storm is brewing.
Humanity is itself undoing.
No common good are men pursuing.
Anyone who stand for morals we're booing.

All focus on taking.
Every taboo we're breaking--
Self-control mankind is forsaking.
Godless science accelerating, never braking.

Media families so amusing!
Gender lines deliberately confusing.
Their hidden agendas subtly diffusing.
Enough is enough is enough.  Start refusing!

She did her best to hide her colors
Her emotions were pronounced
They oozed out of her pores
Many did not see them

She was misunderstood
Purposefully misrepresenting herself
As a cold fish, so she could select her mate
Without being pressured by toads

He spied her immediately,
Seeing her essence, understanding her mission
A rare woman who had a belief in the common good
She could not hide her aura from him
He read auras....

The world order has finally arrived
Australia probably the last bastion,
workplace reform to taint the purity of decency
indelible profits gouged out of misery
under the pretence of corporate ideals.
More wars to be fought
more senators to be bought,
when greed disguised by competition
leads to privatization of all that stood
for the common good and welfare,
and the populous become subjects of the
‘Lowest common denominator’.

Politics brings out the worst in us, 
  if in doubt—turn on the news

The denominator sinking low,
  false prophets in the pews

All lust for privilege, fairness damned,
  as old as man himself

Truth getting buried inside the deck,
   as the bottom card gets dealt

Politics poisons and spoils the well,
  leaving the common good to drown

Our animal natures, where dog eats dog
   —power for sale by the pound

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)...
