good people

we are good people.
we go to work.
we obey the laws of
the land
as best we can.
we love our children,
our parents,
our friends.
we wipe away the tears of
others when they fall.
we listen,
we pray. we sin,
then ask forgiveness.
we start all over
again.
we brush and floss,
we drop a coin into
the homeless tin.
in time these days add
up to something.
I think. but
are we accountable
at the end.
did we do enough, we're
we selfless,
and kind enough,
or does it even matter
as we fade
back in the ground where
we began.
