Two Ways

The wicked are those

Who sit and scoff

And make a mockery

Of those who strive to be good

It is hard not to stray

Onto the path of evil

But it is better to live

A life with blessing

Be like a tree

And stand tall and strong

Feeding on the water

That life freely gives

Don’t let the leaves wither

Or the fruit go bad

Instead be strong

And live a life to prosper

Be wary of those who lie

They are weak and small

And with one big push

They would fall down low

So don’t stand in judgment

It is not your place

But be assertive and true

For that, you will be rewarded
