BASIC HUMAN KINDNESS
BASIC HUMAN KINDNESS
With open eyes the truth I see
The favorite word to us is “me”.
What happened to the human breed
The selfishness and excess greed
Oh, sure there are a certain bunch
Some caring people have a hunch
But turn the news on late today
And hear how greed can ruin the way
We care about our fellow man
And give of ourselves when we can
To see the mocking of what’s unknown
When your only focus is you alone
If lack of compassion has crippled you, see
Then what do you offer our history?
To share a part of us for the good
Yes, we can do it~ YES, we should!
When good times get tough
And the economy‘s been rough
Can‘t we see how we’re blessed
And put faith in the rest
We need to remember the basics of life
And conquer the greed that causes this strife
Can we turn back the clock to a simpler time?
And help out a neighbor~not wanting a dime?
I may be a dreamer~ not having a clue
Or maybe by dreaming, I have hope for you
To spare generations from total destruction
Reuse and recycle can be our new function.
