If the world is meant for competition,
Competition will lead to jealousy,
Jealousy will lead unto war,
War destroys life and peace.
The world says: orphans and parentless,
Parentless parents may be called orphans,
Orphans are the ones, who have no God,
God is the Parent of mankind.
Kingship doth not lie in the scepter,
Sceptre ought to speak righteousness,
Righteousness of mankind is God’s verdict,
Verdict of holiness shows way to Heaven.
Cleanliness is next to godliness,
Godliness is being pure in heart -
Heart that thinks of good and noble,
Noble is the one who does good.
All live with music,
Music ought to be soothing,
Soothing one’s heart is a virtue,
Virtue adds beauty to one’s thought.
Those who share not cannot be leaders,
Leaders should ne’er be of selfishness,
Selfishness is dead when selflessness is born,
Born for service are the real leaders.
In life tolerance is a virtue,
Virtue disciplines one’s inconvenience,
Inconvenience is against unrighteousness,
Unrighteousness is God’s enemy.
Life is a gift rendered unto man,
Man ought to live with godly fear,
Fear of God alone giveth joy,
Joy dwells in Christ ever and ever.
