The chorus of don'ts

After Ephesians 5:1-20

Don’t be immoral,

and don’t kid yourself

that you don’t know

what it means because,

yes, you do and you are.

Don’t be impure,

a form of covetousness,

a form of desire

for what we don’t have

but think we should.

Don’t partner with those

who are either; darkness

mixing with light

begats murk and gloom

and only more darkness.

Don’t walk in acts

of darkness, acts

of destruction, and

instead expose darkness

to the light.

Make the best use 

of these days,

these evil days.

Give thanks.

Sing the songs.
