Win of Life Every Moral Battle

We are not here to see through people,

We are here to see them through!

We are not here to show a mirror to people,

We are here to hold up a mirror to ourselves!

We are not here to pull people down and gloat over it,

We are here to give our fellow beings a leg up!

We are not here to tear each other apart,

We are here to sew up and mend what is torn and broken!

We are not here to laugh at people,

We are here to laugh with them and spread happiness and cheer !

We are not here to inflict mortal wounds,

We are here to act as a balm and heal!

We are not here to shake people’s faith in goodness,

We are here to restore and firm up their faith in humanity!

We are not here to spread the miasma of hate and rancour,

We are here to perfume the garden of life with love!

We are not here to play the role of heartless mercenaries,

We are here to live the life of missionaries to uplift society!

We are not here to negate life,

We are here to affirm it!

We are not here to fall into a bottomless pit,

We are here to evolve and rise!

Let us remember that God made us to soar up to heaven

While the devil is always there to tempt us to plumb the depths of hell!

Do not be smug and do not rest

Till you pass the litmus test!

Do not give in to any ensnaring vice

But do to the occasion rise!

Go out to prove your worth and your mettle,

Never let insidious evil you rattle,

You have it in you to win of life every moral battle!
