Healing The World One Person At A Time

How does the world fare

does it need to be healed.

Seems as though it must

hate resides in most fields.

That hate in these fields

wider spread than you'd think.

Threatens us all

damn, our attitudes stink.

Our ways need some changin'

that's real plain to see.

But knowin' it's needed

ain't enough, you agree?

So where do we start?

How do we mold change?

There must be a method

that isn’t too strange.

And where to begin

that's a problem itself.

Here's a novel idea

we start with our self.

Just look deep inside

find your faults and your flaws.

Before ripping others

with bigoted claws.

Show love and compassion

to all that you meet.

Whether at home, next door

or out on the street.

If you can then by chance

help just one living soul.

It will be the first step

toward changing the whole.

If by changing just one

and he passes it on.

Another step's taken

we've birthed a new dawn.

Now then the changed

although only a few,

Can show others the way

that they can change too.
