Good character, good deeds, live without stain
Blessed by such virtue, honor you’ll gain

Practice virtue and for goodness strive
Your days will be blessed and you will thrive

Do good deeds then throw them in the ocean
Seek not praise, know God sees your devotion

The effort to have purity of mind,
Is well worth the hard endeavor and time

A clean mind will inspire one to do good deeds
Such virtue in life will guarantee one succeeds

Good deeds should always be begun and done
Vice is a behavior that one should shun

Lust, anger, envy and foul speech
Will keep a pure mind out of your reach

If you make good deeds your daily diet
Noise of bad thoughts in the mind will quiet

Virtue gives birth to joyful delight
That makes your future serene and bright

Do not put off doing a good deed
It will help you when you are in need

For goodness engenders goodness and cheer
For the pure of heart, gentle and sincere

What value of practicing virtue each day?
You’ll be honored and loved when your hair turns gray!

When you die and leave this dark world
Your good name will remain, your glories unfurled

Virtue - ahrahkeenoutioun

What value is knowledge of things that be
If we ignore our brothers’ misery
Seeing the hungry, we should share our food
Dedicate our life to virtue and good

Eat not creatures with eyes and family
Refrain from flesh and treat all lovingly
Practice always minimal violence
Be ever a beacon of tolerance

Empathy guides us to the golden rule
Live by compassion and love, be not cruel
Do unto others as you want them to you
Throughout your life all goodness will accrue

You know well how much trouble mean men make
Cause no pain to others for your own sake
Plant many seeds of compassion with love
Live always in peace like a gentle dove

With honesty learn that life comes from life
All misery is born from bitter strife
Celebrate blessings of gentle living
Walk the path of affectionate giving

Virtuous behavior reveals the just
To whom the good give their unflinching trust
Behave impartially with friend and foe
Later you might need them, you never know

We are linked all in one big family
God the pure father is our ancestry
Brothers and sisters inhabit the same tree
May we now live forever peacefully

Men of Virtue hear the words of the wise
Cherishing goodness and seeing through lies
They live honestly with no ruse or guise
The path of virtue is their greatest prize
