Former Sen. Tom Daschle


THE DISTORTION of MAN


We’re sought by Satan of that I’m sure
As he plots to derail our soul.
Greed, hate, lust, anger and fear
Are deeds which facilitate his coal.

He smiles at lies, cheating and theft
He laughs at never-ending war.
He drools to conquer the hearts of man
Shadowing every window and door.

Tempting all with unclean pleasures
His success is weakness and desire.
We triumph only through the power of faith
Avoiding eternal torment and fire.

Goodness and evil illustrate life
Like the two sides of every coin.
Most can’t help but experience both
As we learn who to trust, follow and join.

Praise our Lord for morals and ethics
The laws of heavenly command.
Without God’s armor and His grace
We become the distortion of man.


SUCCESS

YOUR ON YOUR OWN BUT NOT ALONE


Late to bed early to rise
Work like hell and advertise.
Tell the truth and refuse to lie
Be all you can be beneath God’s sky.

Love your family and strive to achieve
Triumph by goodness and how you believe.
Heed to the whispers of God in your heart
Retain integrity and from foulness depart.

Let voices proclaim after you have gone
Your love for others still lives on.
Real success comes by who you actually are
Not by trinkets, a big house or car.

Your on our own but not alone
As the deeds of your lifetime are sown.
Love, fear, lust, greed, faith and hate
Are how you are measured and known.


INTEGRITY


What Satan has planned for our harm
Integrity will transform to good.
Adhering to morals gives us peace
Teaching us to respond, as we should.

Sometimes we must go against the flow
Questioning what our shepherd’s may say.
For they are not God, only human
And for their integrity, we pray.

Though faith we can stay undiminished
Keeping ourselves entire and whole.
Avoiding human hate and mistrust
While struggling to preserve our soul.

With honor we obtain uprightness
And by love and compliance we gain grace.
Integrity gives us proper goals
Improving the standard of our race.

Those who laugh at the straight and narrow
Will not hear God's answer to their cry.
Those who yearn to earn their integrity
Must not steal, persecute or lie.

GREED


Greed is an unwholesome desire
A craving to obtain all desired by man.
Caused by gluttonous, ego and conceit
As we eagerly grasp everything we can.

Wealth, fame, power and libido
Are the trophies of what greed consists of.
A hunger to experience every exotic wish
Overpowering the glory of love.

Twisted by pursuing all, which is wrong
Our compassion becomes self-serving.
We ‘re tormented by mistrust, suspicion and rage
And our downfall as a human is deserving.
