Obey

Why do we suffer so much?

There are seven stanzas and seven syllables in each line.




Obey, the Ten Commandments,
And you will prevent much pain.
These are not just sentiments,
But the rules none should disdain.

Obey, no predicaments.
List is extensive and long.
Such are not woeful statements
That are found in a sad song.

Obey, and feel no regret.
Don’t believe in right or wrong.
Then in Hell you will be met
Faithful will then say, ‘So long.’

Obey, and know God loves you
Did not His only Son die
To save us our forfeit due?
So do not just walk on by.

Obey.  Set an example
Show and tell us your story
The rules are very simple
To one God give the glory.

Obey.  Don’t laugh at lewdness,
Nor, disrespect another.
It will not bring happiness
What harms sister or brother.

Obey, the Ten Commandments.
Show your own devoted love.
These are not just sentiments.
The path is like His above.

The meticulous metrics are not the only things that merit praise here, Patricia. Also worth mentioning is the excellent handling of the thematic material. Strong poem by a capable poet. Nicely done.
