A Simple Change For a Better World

Come join me in a worthwhile endeavor-- No binding contracts to sign, whatsoever, No join-up fees, no recurring monthly dues, No discovering later it was all a big ruse. We all must agree to make one simple change That should not seem, at all, very strange-- It will make our lives a hundred percent better If we follow through right down to the letter. Vowing today not to let prejudice and bigotry Cause us to treat any human being differently, For all of us are equal and loved in God’s eyes Our world will be a better place if everyone tries To live by the Golden Rule and treat everyone As we would like to be treated, and then be done Once-and-for-all with hatred, bias, and mistrust We can make our world better—we must!

An inspiring poem my friend, L MILTON. A straightforward message that, unfortunately, the many are not willing to hear because they want to change the world but none wishes to change himself. I have written hundreds poems on the subject but to no avail. However, we must keep the torch alight. God bless you for caring and sharing.

Demetrios, you are so right. Too many people are interested in changing everyone else, but are unwilling to change themselves. Well, I'll add this to your hundreds. Thanks!
