' Ignorance Is No Excuse... ' Poem by MoonBee Canady

Ignorance … Is No Excuse
Each Country’s Laws Bears This Proof
Even If You Go On Vacation
In Any Of The World’s Nations

And Break Their Written Laws
Their Sentence For Justice Is Raw
Straight To The Point and Prosecuted
(You May Even Be Caned or Booted)

You Can’t Plead Innocence
Or Say, “I Didn’t Know ‘Bout This! ”
Because Negligence and Ignorance
Is Not An Accepted Defense

Every Self-Governing Land
Or Principality Grand
Or Mercy Of A Municipality
Is Based On Its Legality

Every Empire With Territory Great
Or Superior Sanctioned States
Upholds Its Will and Statutes
It Is A Power That They Value

If You Want To Live In A Land
You Must Know Its Laws and Its Stand
Its Rules and Regulations
Which Presides Over Its Populations

And If You Break Their Laws
There Is A Punishment Clause
… Either Locked Up Or Exiled
For A Lifetime Or Awhile
(Even On A Foreign Isle)

… There Are Laws On Speed Limits
There Are Things That Laws Prohibit
And You Pay The Penalty For
Even Laws That You Ignore

Crimes Committed Have Consequences
That Are Equal To Those Offenses
So It’s Smart To Just Find Out
Whatever You May Have In Doubts …

What You Can Bring; How You Should Act;
What You Can Take … Get All The Facts
And Proper Papers; Valid Passport
Or You’ll Wind Up In Their Courts

… Every Continent Or Community
This Is Their Established Unity
There’s A Creed For Every Place
Just Like GOD’s Kingdom Of Grace …

GOD … Has A Book Of Legislation
It Is A Model For Many Nations
And To Live In His Promised Land
We Must Learn All His Commands

His … Is A Theocracy, A Divinity
An Almighty, All Knowing Authority
Not Ruled By Man’s Popularity
Not Ruled By Any Man You See

And The Official Seal Of Identity
Was Long Decreed By Prophecy …
It Is A Royal Kingdom Of Love
Ruled By A King High Above

… We Pray This Kingdom Come
In The Glory Of GOD’s Own Son
His Land Is The Whole Wide Earth
His Dominion – The Universe!

In Heaven Is His Throne
The Supreme Seat Of Power Is On
Every Part Of Creation
Which Bows To His Stipulations

GOD … Will Make All Wars Cease
GOD Is Bringing To Us Peace
And Plenty Of Golden Grains
Fruits Of Joy and Righteous Rains …

A Land Of Milk and Honey
All Needs Met Without Money
Eternal Life and Liberty
Youth Regained And All Healthy …

Adventures and Explorations
All At GOD’s Invitations
To Citizens Of Celestial Status
Because We Learned What Really Matters …

We’re Living By GOD’s Holy Breath
And His Principles We Have Kept
Are Summed Up In This One Order …
“Love GOD and One Another”

Mankind Will Be United
Every Desire Of Ours, Delighted
No More Riots or Revolutions …
After The Final Executions

… For Ignorance Is No Excuse
Each Country’s Laws Bears This Proof
But You Have The Right To Choose
If That Land’s Laws Is For You

But If You Want To Break GOD’s Laws
Your Plan Has Many Flaws
Like, Where‘re You Gonna Live
If You’re Banished From His Will?

And When GOD Locks You Up
There’s No Use In Crying, “What? ! ”
Because If Your Life You Lose
Know That Ignorance Was No Excuse

Those Who Choose To Ignore GOD’s Laws
(For Whatever Misguided Cause)
Ignorance … Is No Excuse
Each Country’s Laws Bears This Proof …
