One drop is all it takes

One  drop of human kindness,
Into the murky pool,
We seem determined to spend, most of our lives in, 
  feeling totally uncool,
Is usually enough to quench another's thirst,
To be placed anywhere but last,
Transferring that energy burst,
That was given to us, 
Without any fuss,
So, they too can get on the right bus,
One that will take them to a place that is really cool, 
Far far away from that murky pool.
