Quitting Sin Has A Cost Poem by Chuy Amante

So you know you really don't meet the mark
you cuss at the neighbor every time his dog barks

you don't steal much and your lies are white
only occasionally with wife and kids you fight

so what you give, you get they say
the time is coming you'll have to pay

you'll be weighed, measured and found wanting
by the universal scale, it can be haunting

Verdict: DEATH

sort of, not really
let's rephrase it, a chance for new life,
a chance to fix it and get it right

get it right? sounds like righteousness
doing right, yeah DO WHAT IS RIGHT

Start today to treat all with love
a brand new start, fly like a white dove

Never hurt others no sentient life
be peaceful, humble, add calm to strife

I choose not to give my karma to another
I choose LIFE thru loving my Brother

Life expands, harmonizes, lights all near!
fills all with love and removes all fear

traditions are anchors all twisted and bent
when its rules have lost
living enlightenment

Tapped into God by right works and thought
you'll never be in a dark grave plot

You'll LIVE and LOVE and laugh at time
Right mind and action eternally sublime!
