If you don't believe in God, all you have to believe in is decency. Decency is very good. Better decent than indecent. But I don't think it's enough.

Those of Similar Interests
No need to call him an imbecile.
He represents a reflection of their decency.
Those of 'supreme quality'!
And selecting him to lead.
And he represents...
With no survey needed!
A reflection of their decency.
No need to call him an imbecile.
Just because he has ruined lives.
There has to be those who are feeling thrilled...
Ecstatic and fulfilled.
With goosebumps that rise.
He is a killer and he has proven that.
He has a death track record...
Anyone who is not blind,
Knows that is a fact.
He is a demon who has been placed,
To do a demon's will.
And grin and smile in your face!
No need to call him an imbecile.
He reflects their best effort!
He presides over those who have chosen him.
Those of similar interests.
Caring less the depth of their decadence kept!
With a murderous mindset he enjoys...
As he watches putting others to death!
And that is not the mind of an imbecile.
That is the mind of one capable of doing,
Far more evil!

Human Rights’
In a civilised land
That accepts duty to all
Citizens have rights
Some great, some small
This is how things should be
To those who value
Truth and fairness
And justice and decency
But those who treasure money
And the power of wealth
Seek to remove such rights
Through deceit and stealth
They claim that duty
Comes before such rights
But they accept no obligation
For causing another’s plight
Obligation before rights
Is their loud refrain
But fulfilling their own duties
Is something they distain
For rights are for the powerful
Whilst duty is for the poor
And decency and justice
The Country provides no more
Human Rights matter
To ensure justice for all
For saints and for sinners
For all people great and small
The alternative is ugly
With justice a forgotten myth
With power replacing fairness
And a society that is truly sick

People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
