Turning Left

My parents had always taught me The difference between wrong and right They also sat down and also told me To always to keep GOD in my sight, I truly do love this great country And I always want it to be better place to live But since Eve took the fruit from that apple tree People want to take and take and not to give, I now see the strong and the wealthy The people and corporations’ and their might They ignore the starving and the unhealthy When I always look towards my right, I cannot see what my parents had taught Sadly I see such a different sight And what I see is not what I had sought When I always look towards my right, Though I still follow those few sacred rules That my parents had bestowed upon me They are now my spiritual and conscience jewels And I am their protector and their trustee, In life all I want is goodness and not deceit Nor lies or bigotry, hate or theft So now when I go down to morality street I never turn right; I will always turn left.
