Please, Be Kind

It’s true,

Navigating this labyrinth of life

Can be daunting as to baffle the

Most brilliant of minds. But

No matter how cruel or challenged

The pathway, there is never a reason

To fail to be kind.

 

Compete if you must,

Disagree if you will and

Argue a point to the edge of perdition

In voices emphatic,

Tempered with monotone,

Ladled with logic and

Braced by tradition.

 

No reason to battle, beat or berate

When confronted with a cold controversial choice.

Sound sensibility, patience and poise

Can seek resolution wrapped calmly, sans noise.

 

And when, in the end, there is pause to reflect,

May it always be true that we find

Through the mush and the mosh of

The wallow and wash

We made the choice to be kind.
