To do what is right

It is not always easy to do what is right

Sometimes you have to swim against the tide

When rampant greed has been disguised as progress

When morals are sacrificed at the altar of success

When you feel conflicted because of the situation you are in

When the wide and illuminated road tries to draw you in

*

You double-check with your soul, before you proceed

You question if you too are motivated by greed

The distinction is hard because greed has been packaged as success

To stick to your morals implies making do with much less

You start worrying about your ability to provide

For your family, and that makes it harder to decide

Between your gut feeling and the prevailing trend

The decision feels such that in either direction you can bend

*

You come to a decision and go to bed to get some rest

With plans for execution the next morning, and your litmus test

Is whether you’ve had a restful sleep at night

If so, the decision you have taken is right..
