Tell me why
The mass majority of people
Only seek
Their own gain
To get laid
To get paid
To get made
At the expense of anyone in their way
No matter what they think
Or feel
They get
Bulldozed
Hearts get wrecked
Ambitions get tarnished
Destroyed, even
Lack of care infects
Everything it touches
Yet, what is the antidote?
When’s the last time
We did something for someone else
Just because?
Because we didn’t need anything
And they did?
When’s the last time
We received something from someone else
Simply because?
Because they chose to give it
And we humbled ourselves to admitting
That we needed it?
Why do we dance the politically correct dance
With bubbles up around us
To not allow anyone too close
To make us look shiny and good
To protect us from potential harm?
What will it take to let the guard down?
What is the antidote?
One must understand the love of God
For ones own self
To ones own self
Before any other love can be considered
Or given
Or received
Nice!
