Good Decisions

better decisions and moral fiber
from sound universal wisdom
good training and discipline
result in proactive
and interdependent relationships

attitudes and actions
based upon ethnic moralities
and religious ceremonies
produce weak and less integrative behavior

i was a good sicilian
raised to be a good catholic
by the the good irish and good germans
married a good slovak
and raised two good sons who were trained
by the media of the 80's and 90's good america
to think like good common consumers
when i became a believer
i went to a good black evangelical church
and was eventually ordained by three good redneck ministers

now that i have matured and grown a bit
and am considered evil by all of the above
i realize that many of my good decisions were confused
i have found that it might have been wiser to study the works of
aristotle, thomas jefferson and lord chesterfield
and use their terrible teachings
as a good check and balance for the good of all the others
