A rhyming poem for what's wrong and what's right
The right and the wrong,

the good and the bad.

Which one makes you strong

and which one makes you sad?



A few years ago I met an old man.

He liked to be strong so he chose being bad.

The rest of his story turned out to be sad

alone in the darkness he died, an old man.



A long time ago, lonely, traveled a lad.

He saw many people known for being sad.

He treated them kindly, not filthy nor bad.

So no longer was he so lonely a lad.



But we never know how our story will end.

So on doing the right thing our time should be spent.
