Good Ethics 101 Poem by Hebert Logerie

I am compelled to convey my thoughts
And ideas about many people's behaviors
These days. Courage is a great thing
A great urge to be good, strong and magnanimous
Courage is holy or divine; it is about having guts
To fight for the poor, young, old and against the enemies
On the other hand, audacity is not a good thing
It is trying to manipulate the system, to backstab, to embezzle, to lie
To commit frauds, to cheat, to steal, to conquer and to win any cost
Audacity kills indiscriminately. Audacity is toxic
Treacherous, murderous, evil, villainous and hypocritical
It is critical and vital to fully comprehend the difference
Between courage and audacity
This audacity is bad, negative, awful, devilish and repugnant
And courage is gutsy, heroic, generous and very important
Adults must set up good examples for the next
Generation. The world needs good citizens and great texts
Have good morals and courage to stand to fight for our rights
And be not afraid to go to great and new heights.

P.S. This poem is dedicated to our faithful readers and to the next generation.
