We Are Our Deeds
A doctor tries to save a dying old man.
A young addict OD´s from the needle.
A strong man dares to act, defends the feeble.
A husband beats his wife because he can.
A father holds his newborn son with pride.
Another leaves his family behind.
A poor child eats the food that he can find.
A rich child throws his fine cuisine aside.
A family with a house complains of taxes.
A homeless man must sleep on piles of trash.
A lottery winner has fists full of cash.
An honest worker´s wage never waxes.
Be master of your fate, or else its prey.
We´re all responsible for our own lives.
The unyielding earns that for which he strives.
We all must play the hand we´re dealt today.
At times, let´s reconsider our needs.
Our acts echo in time; we are our deeds.
