Be Good

A man spent a busy life

all his life he created wealth

a zillions in wealth

didn’t  waste a moment

didn’t waste a smile

did not shed a tear

 

after his ultimate death

he donated all to charity

to build temples and

to run many schools and

to feed a thousand hungers

to a benevolent earth

 

After his such a deeds

he was well remembered

his statues were erected

schools were named and

awards given in his name

he was conferred a saint

 

he went to God

to take him in heaven

God asked him why.

he had a long list

of charity done unto others

after his divine death

 

God looked  the whole list

top to bottom, bottom to top

He could not see his name

whole world was there but

not even a bit of self

God refused him in

 

to his agony He answered

I am you and you are Me

how can you be good

 when you ain’t good to self

its not enough to do good

if you aint be good
