Is it doing something good?
Giving to the homeless?
Have I misunderstood?
Is it rescuing an abused pet?
Wait, maybe it’s a lot deeper
Only follow along
If you are a deep thinker
It’s principle
Morality
Doing better
Mentality
It’s facts
Reality
Higher power
Spirituality
It’s freedom
Liberality
What it’s not is brutality, irrationality, or partiality
It’s altruism in totality
Unselfish acts and respect
Wanting to grow and affect
The lives of those who aren't as pure
Knowing the world is not perfect
We were all born with a clean slate
But what happened as we got older?
We took pleasure in sin
And the media tried to mold us
Still we are responsible for our choices
Our actions, our voices
No one opened up our mouths
We chose to drink the poison
That lifestyle is worthless
Deters us from our purpose
The more we strive towards excellence
Perhaps we’d be closer to virtuous
Excellence without selfishness
Excellence without ego
Excellence with moral responsibility
Excellence with oswego
That means “the outpouring”
An outpouring of goodness
An outpouring of uprightness
An outpouring of righteousness
But not of uptightness
Loosen up a little bit
Morality is fundamental
Virtue is instrumental
Let’s not be judgmental
Of those who are not like us
Lend a hand and pull them up
Remember you aren't perfect either
Aren’t you a faithful believer?
That’s happiness at its best
Putting chastity to the test
Be as virtuous as possible
Because you my friend are blessed
