Can'T Beat the System

`They say if a good deed you do every day
`It will in deed repay for love will pave the way
`Some say and do not a famous prophet did say
`Hoping to beat the system, but there is hell to pay

`Many who walk not in love their relations do fray
`Many a marriage crumbles, turns children’s lives gray
`We reap as we have sown, and death will repay
`We burn bridges behind, make war and we slay

`We blame all on Satan, but it’s our hating clay
 `I’ll do my good deeds, sow good seeds and pray
`A prayer, a good deed a day, keeps bad at bay
`Good deeds, good seeds, every day love will thus weigh

`We ask, we have not asking in vain of nay
`We live strife on puppet strings of ballet 
`We feed on worldly evil  like it’s a buffet
`We judge condemning ourselves to decay

`We lust and we scold, growing old of defray
`Our evil dazzles us, surrounds in array
`It is Love’s horse power we hook behind shay
`We trust not love’s will gives a better day!!
