A Moral Compass

People say they have morals but all they seem to do is quarrel. 
Their hatred filled words and actions are nothing but immoral.
Racial acts and bigotry beliefs should have no place in our world. 
This kind of hatred should be removed, thrown out and hurled!
Teach your children kindness at a young age, be a good role model.
Stop wasting time, make those humane changes today, don’t dawdle.
A better world for our future could and should start in all of us today.
Treat others with kindness and don’t throw your moral compasses away!

There is so much wisdom and so much to ponder in the flow of your lines and rhyme Tania! Congratulations on your win that exhorts all of us to be kind. I can't help but think of the last line of the song Let There Be Peace on Earth - "let it begin with me."
