Humankind: Kindness

#HUMANKIND...KINDNESS*

I saw a video of a Distressed MAN, standing solo with his FINAL PLAN, contemplation on that Ledge, it was Clear He'd Lost His Edge...
It was a Painful Sight to Watch, when  Concluded No One Gives A Damn! Yet, Lo and Behold...People SHOWED Up and SHOUTED Out...WE LOVE YOU AND WE GIVE A DAMN!!!

They SHOWED* in their SIGNAGE* of LOVE for this HUMAN BEING...

They SHOUTED at their LOUDEST that They weren't there just for the SEEING ...

They SUCCEEDED and EXCEEDED when this Person
NEEDED LOVE and COMPASSION...

SUICIDE* KILLS THE SOUL...
STRANGERS THERE TO PREVENT* THIS GOAL...SPECTATORS, THEY CERTAINLY WERE NOT! ! ! ! !

As They SCREAMED, As They SHOUTED...

"WE'RE HERE FOR YOU, AND DON'T TAKE THIS ROUTE* YOU MATTER!!! YOU MATTER TO ME!!!"

I PRAY AS THE POLICE ESCORTED HIM DOWN THAT IN HIS HEART...
{A NEW START} 
THERE LIED A TURNAROUND KNOWING PEOPLE SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT FOR HIM...{THAT PART}

BEFORE, A POTENTIAL LAST MOMENT, SIGH, OR BREATH...
"HE THOUGHT, THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT!"

MAY AFTERWARDS...
HE FEELS THE GRAVITY* OF THAT DEPTH!

As I Wept, I thought, 
"See What LOVE and KINDNESS Can Do!!!!"
With All My Heart, I Pray That THEY...
"LOOK, TOMORROW IS A *N E W* DAY...
GOT THROUGH~~~~~!"
