Common Sense
People who have common sense
don't go around doing wrong.
People who act like fools are ungodly,
weak in spirit and don't last very long.

They have wickedness in their bodies
that causes them to hurt others.
The truely wicked fools of this world
are not loving sisters or brothers.

They cannot hold their tongues, they only
talk about what they think they know.
No one should listen to their ramblings,
they don't accept God, good deeds are for show.

That kind of behavior leads to only hurt,
pain, trouble and immense sorrow.
The wicked and the foolish plot evil
they care less about tomorrow.

It is very wise to be on the look-out for people
who have no sense and live their lives only to hate.
So, stay with God, or you will
soon end up in a terrible state.
