Interactions and Returns

What you give, you will get back in return, 
If you are nice to someone, and you leave it, 
They’ll be nice back to you in the future, burn, 
And a friendship may blossom to kindly sit. 

Being nice is a positive, on the upwards level, 
Going the upwards way, it’s something warm;
Gravity sits to allow trees to grow, no bevel, 
Plants, planes, buildings, sky-scrapers form. 

Leaves fall off the trees, plants photosynthesise, 
Planes must land sometime, buildings get old, 
Sky-scrapers are at risk of destroying the prize, 
When weather threatens their structures bold. 

So life says that when your frame is on the way up, 
And you like people and show love for plane space, 
When you could interject something kind, yup, 
But don’t have to, and you do, ‘cos that’s your face. 

Then you can be assured that in time, after a bit, 
You’ll get back what you’ve given, for nothing, 
Because what goes up must come back down, fit, 
According to science’s law of gravity that’s moving.
