Self help: Loves Value

Imagine if the race to be as rich as you can,
Was replaced with a race to be kind,
The value of money and what it can buy, 
Was replaced with a feeling inside,

If a feeling of loyal, respect, happy and nice, 
Knowing the right thing to do,
Drove how we lived each day of our life, 
Becoming the ideals to pursue,

I think instead of a house we’d all have a home, 
Instead of a drug we’d have health,
Instead of having all we could buy, 
We’d have beautifully poetic wealth,

And every day we’d wake with kind on our mind, 
Smile with peace loving guns,
Strive to be the honest caring the most, 
Living with nature as one.
