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.
