Looking Back In Anger

If we want to see less people looking back in anger,
We need to give them more to look forward to,
Like old age,
Like 3 square meals a day,
Like being listened to,
Like less waiting time for that operation,
Like a place to shower,
Like actual mail in their letter box,
Like an end to the beatings,
Like job security,
Like being valued by others,
Like a holiday,
Like being invited to help,
Like a second chance,
Like sound advice, 
Like a safe place to meet others,
Like Christmas,
Like Hope,
Like Love.
