A Helping Hand

In a society where everyone is busy,
you seldom take your neighbors seriously. 
Sometimes, it's better to write your own poem
than to gossip about other people's problem. 

Even if you're working from home 
there's not much time for you to roam, 
for time passes too quickly. 
There's not much time for neighbor's company. 

And if you wish to be a productive person, 
sometimes, it's better to mind your own. 
Just see to it that you lend a helping hand 
when one of your neighbors could hardly stand.
