One can do their best that is all one can do and than that one cannot do much more

May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

If you are fair with other people and never harm one in any way
Then you are a successful person despite what some of you might say
If all were millionaires none would be paupers one’s money does not prove one apart
From one who finds life a great battle ’tis better to be kind of heart
Than one who has got heaps of money and is cruel to his children and his wife
Than the material side there’s far more to a person the good person lives a good life
One can give their best and best only and if the good life you pursue
Then you sow the seeds of good karma and good karma you will be due
You do your best to live a good life and that is all that anyone can do
For life it seems short even for those who live to one hundred and two,
So live a good life and be happy for who knows what tomorrow will bring
It only matters that you be a good person though others your praises don’t sing.

And again they fly above the crowd to another loud encoreEight fighter jets in unison and how their engines roar.Don’t ask me to feel passionate about such a waste of fuelAt such a waste of money in a World where men of money ruleIn a World where millions are dying of hunger this seems all…
