Sagacity’s a shooting creek
speeding from a mountain peak,
as light and lively as it’s deep –
seek the sageness that it speaks.
Sound judgement is a solution
that wins favor and respect,
but those on the road to ruin
prefer to drive straight to heck.
Few men thinketh that they might
be wrong about their ways,
but a million men can’t all be right,
like mice within a maze.
Either a man’s right in his own eyes,
or he’s right in God’s,
I’d rather do what God thinks wise,
than try to defy odds.
Is it better for those folks elected
to do what voters expected
or seek foremost to fulfill
that which pleases the Lord’s will?
Let my every declaration
and my inner meditation
be worthy of consideration,
Lord, my Rock and my Salvation.
There was a beaver named Sam and his spouse,
and as the ma’am swam, she would grouse,
“Why’d we marry at all
if you won’t lend a paw
and help out around the dam house?”
Laziness will bring sweet sleep,
but in the end, nothing to eat.
The shiftless soul will suffer hunger,
like an empty end-times bunker.
Greed brings grief to families,
a series of calamities,
but he whose mission is to give
despises bribes and he will live.
He who disregards discipline
will end in disgrace.
But he who heeds correction
will be honored and be praised.
A Christian who avoids forgiveness
is like a physician
who won’t treat his patient’s sickness
but prescribes perdition.
