Do Not Beg, Steal Or Rob Poem by Randy McClave

Do not beg or steal or ever rob
But, instead go out and find yourself a job,
It might not be the greatest job from establishments or stores
But, it indeed will open many other doors.
There is pride found when from hard work and sweat you get paid
Better than begging for money where some income Is made,
Find that pride from work when other coworkers you meet
Instead of the remarks you hear from begging on the street.
Work a 40 or maybe even a 40 plus hour week
Instead of the hundred plus hours on the street that you already seek,
Instead of on the street begging and pleading
Be out working at a job and feel the breeze of succeeding.
Do not earn any pay from robbing or maybe even stealing
Or by selling drugs or weapons for the killing,
Pay your taxes especially for your social security
Then you'll have a pension with benefits when go into your maturity.
It's always better to work hard and best for your living
And it's aways soulfully and spiritually right when you're helping and giving,
Be always proud and boastful and always legal
Fly above all like the American eagle.
