Do Good & the Spirits Won't Laugh

Hey, tell me, how does one do good?

What about these spirits, what are they anyhow?

How can spirits know what's good and evil?

Don't tease, what do laughing spirits have to do with it?

Why do spirits bother to ridicule us anyway?

You mean we must be good till the spirits "Amen"?

Do good by keeping the spirits from laughing at you!

They are neither good nor evil, but they have eyes!

Just stray from your humanity, they'll call you crazy!

Because people are likely to be sorry for a long time!

They want all of us, and themselves, to give up evil!

If you do, they won't trick you and you can laugh!
