A righteous person cares,
With life of all creatures;
Willingness that he shares,
With those of all cultures.
Compassion of evil,
Completely inhumane;
No love in the devil;
Who merely acts insane.
Whoever works his land,
Will have plenty to eat;
Abundant yield will stand,
Making his life complete.
A person chasing dreams,
Will have no sense at all;
Though they climb as it seems,
Actually they will fall.
Wicked people delight,
When they can set a snare;
But failure is in sight,
Since they did not prepare.
Righteous folks will have roots,
Down deep into the ground;
Come harvest delicious fruits,
Big and juicy as found.
Foolish people are caught,
By snares from sinful talk;
Wicked ways that are sought,
With quicksand where they walk.
So look before you leap,
To escape from trouble;
Also a good night sleep,
Bursting not your bubble.
A fool just thinks his way,
And far from being wise;
Will not trust or obey,
Closing his ears and eyes.
