Always Abide Poem by John Sensele

Always abide by the truth
At all times shying away from being uncouth
To mom, dad, brother and sister be kind
And plenty peace always find and bind.

Always abide by compassion
At all times pouring on the unloved and loveless passion
They need and for which they plead
For your heart to do them a good deed.

Always abide by patriotism
At all times never succumbing to the cynicism
That devours and devastates nations
Where patriotism died on altars of abominations.

Always abide by kindness
At all times shying away from the blindness
That drives the temptation for indifference
Driven to the crescendo of selfishness in your circumference.

Always abide by your wedding vows
At all times shying away from conundrum cows
That drive a wedge in your home
As your eyes in the wrong direction begin to roam.
