Kindness




Before the virus came
We strived towards a moving aim

There was money before shame
Of our own inner pain

Our dreams always pushed aside
Like we had something to hide

Now they bubble to the surface 
Like a forgotten, forbidden place 

Our own Atlantis to see 
That helps us to feel free

Love still so hard to face 
Like it was never commonplace

Yet it’s what is what binds us together 
Or we will leave this world without a trace

What we have come here to be 
Is inside of us you see

It just needs a little stillness to contain
And get through our own pain

Not seeking our own gain
Or acting always inhumane

Small acts of kindness break out
Like the sun through clouds of doubt

A gentle word to a stranger 
Or helping the souls cross over

To a higher plane
So that we don’t go insane

From our own greed 
Born from an insatiable need

To control and have 
Living our lives cut in halve

A split person kind and cruel
Which one is our true fuel

The choice is ours today
We can find a better way

What is gonna be our mainstay?
Will we have the courage 
To keep our selfishness at bay?
