Make Someone Smile

Make someone smile today Believe me it's really easy to do Just smile at someone on the street And they find it very difficult Not to smile back without thinking But is this guy kind of a loony This is the way society has become Sadly you appear to be a loony toons Trust me after a while it will be the norm Just like in days of yore Time will soon turn back the old clock Of pleasant conversation Do we think it's actually possible To revert to a more civilized way of life It will be quite a shock to the system Everything is strange to begin In time life will be as it was yesterday Oh for those simpler times

You made me smile, Mr Loony Toons, and then you made me cry. Its so sad to think its quite mistaken and badly taken, to give a simple smile, and all the while if you see a child walking by, you don't dare to tie his undone lace, incase its child molesting charges you face. Surely it must change. A thought provoking wonderful poem Jack.

I do think it's possible to "revert to a more civilized way of life," Jack, and a smile offered to a total stranger is a good place to begin.
