Turning Left Poem by Randy McClave

Turning Left



My parents had always taught me
The difference between wrong and right
They also sat down and also told me
To always to keep GOD in my sight,
I truly do love this great country
And I always want it to be better place to live
But since Eve took the fruit from that apple tree
People want to take and take and not to give,
I now see the strong and the wealthy
The people and corporations’ and their might
They ignore the starving and the unhealthy
When I always look towards my right,
I cannot see what my parents had taught
Sadly I see such a different sight
And what I see is not what I had sought
When I always look towards my right,
Though I still follow those few sacred rules
That my parents had bestowed upon me
They are now my spiritual and conscience jewels
And I am their protector and their trustee,
In life all I want is goodness and not deceit
Nor lies or bigotry, hate or theft
So now when I go down to morality street
I never turn right; I will always turn left.
