Analysis of Good And Right
Bad and wrong is everywhere; so is good and right.
There's no reason to despair if you're in pure light.
Act as if love shapes each day: make-believe comes true.
There's no reason to misplay if you're in fine lieu.
Look about a close backyard: see the wonders near.
There's no reason to discard if you're in apt cheer.
Keep a vigilant clear goal: purpose provides aim.
There's no reason to cajole if you're in time frame.
Take a cautious justice stand: fairness aids surcease.
There's no reason to remand if you're in set peace.
Find the splendor all around: nature's gifts are free.
There's no reason to dumfound if you're in fit key.
Good and right is within reach; so is bad and wrong.
There's no reason to impeach if you're in art song.
