We Only Can Be Poem by Francis Duggan

We only can be the best that we can be
This applies to everyone and everyone includes you and me
Some are more flawed than others but each of us have some flaw
Perfection is not part of natural law
How you live as a person is all up to you
If you choose to do good in the World then good you will do
The person who only lives for self alone
Is living a life that is hard to condone
For selfishness of mind is a mentally unhealthy thing
And the praises of such seems impossible to sing
On Karma i am one who happens for to believe
And those who give out of kindness good Karma can expect to receive
But there are all sorts of personalities in the World of today
This is how people are and they will always be this way.
