Heal The World, Make It A Better Place

feed knowledge to the curious

ignore the furious

(unless you can from a distance prod

them safely with your verbal rod!)

give tasks to those physically fitter

and motivation to the sitter

grant an audience to the funny

explain privilege to those with money

give affection to soothe the grieving

even silent presence will relieve them

.

teach self worth to the used

give encouragement to the enthused

teach appreciation to the lonely

remind them they are not the only

people living in isolation and lack

introduce them to service

get them on the right track

console the fearful

and dance with the cheerful

.

but no matter what you do,

don’t always treat others as if they are you!

treat them as children you were entrusted to look after

encourage play and plenty of laughter

.

start to deliberately trigger the bitter

make them do the work to get emotionally fitter

throw gasoline on their poisonous fires

burn their egos on those hate filled pyres

it’s not in cruelty or in meanness

it’s in the name of love and progress

.

not everybody is the same

needs are different day to day

be wise and discerning with all that you give

if you truly want to help them live
