Civility

I have found that civility
Can diffuse most animosity
When applied with honesty,
And a heart in the correct vicinity

In our fast paced “modern” society
We are subject to a never ending drudgery 
Which has increased our susceptibility
To that which is opposed to the Divinity

Brothers and Sisters I implore thee!
Pause, breath, rest, restore your vitality
Take a break from our pounding reality
Be one with your heart and soul, completely

At peace, it is much more easy
To find the time for that civility
Which can relieve all that animosity
And make it a better world for you and me.
