Simple Task

"Simple Task"

Live and let live, cause never any harm. 
Not only is this right, herein lies our charm.
For there is no good in bullying and bossing;
As it reflects on us, self respect we're tossing.

A little bit of consideration goes a very long way,
Yet, it costs us nothing to dispense and/or display.
Remember, what we give, will also be returned.
If we harm others' hearts, we can expect our own burned.

If we think before we speak, carefully review
Our words before unleashed, given their debut,
We can spare the hearts of others any needless pain
And our own we spare the unpleasantness of disdain.

Live and let live, treat others as we want to be
And the peacefulness obtained along with harmony,
Will make our life a joy in which we can bask
Simply because we carried out a very Simple Task.
