The world doesn’t tend to give you what you want
Give me a locked box, the indescribable taunt
What if she was feeling generous?
In a moment of empathy, some severance
My fingers delve deep and rummage
I’d pay your entry fee, some sort of tonnage
Reaching past the gold, the silver
Some objects the victims to pilfer
I can feel it beating at the bottom, submerged by guilt
Picking up the shattered pieces, always knew you needed rebuilt
I'll spend all night putting you back together
Please let me talk to you, I can feel our tether
Your heart was broken in the bottom of my box
Why you left it with me is a total flummox
I chose to return your heart back to you, as you repaired mine
Maybe this time my act of kindness will cause us to intertwine
The world doesn’t tend to give you what you want
But if you give me a chance, maybe I can

She's a kind-hearted woman who devoted herself in giving
She would give what she had even though she was toiling
She's a golden soul that did not know how to be greedy
She would give her own food even though she was hungry

The gate made me rush,
my destination was plunder.
I saw them jeopardizing themselves,
helping others.
Unselfish concern for other people,
in the face of scarcity, risky,
without any reward.
Prosocial behavior,
born with a natural tendency,
helping others, forefront of thoughts.
Neural evidence, pure altruism,
against violence, inequality, and oppression.
Nurture the seeds of change,
respect for human life.
When they fragmented,
and socially atomized,
they shape beauty identities.

Altruist stands against Egoist,
Against his own life stands;
Red with blood his eyes are,
Plucked by his selfless hands.
___________________________
Altruist follows the leader,
Who knows not where to go,
But down into lifeless darkness
Where all false leaders go.
______________________________
Altruist follows ruts and hollows of selfless service worn;
Altruist bellows to his fellows, "Cowards we are born".
___________________________________________________
Altruist bending in faith ne'er ending to death is sending his prayers befriending;
Death, receiving, is nowise grieving, but laughs in reaping the self-deceiving.
___________________________________________________________________
Altruist kneels, pounds head on floor;
Egoist stands, a beast no more.
