Instilling Empathy

I would like the power to instill empathy in every human being I meet
Giving them beautiful smiles and hand waves as I walk down the street.

I would let the magic of kindness and love filter into their heart
I know it is not everything, but you have to admit, it would be a start.

Every robber, rapist and murderer I meet would rethink an evil intention.
I doubt the residual effects I would even have to slightly mention.

They would curb their dastardly deeds.
I would be planting the seeds, yes, just planting the seeds.

Killing would stop, because empathy and killing do not go hand in hand.
I think it would be so grand, we could have an empathy band.

This fantastic super power might instill world peace.
Imagine the good that could come out of this. All wars would probably cease.

World-wide appreciation would happen naturally if I had this superpower.
I would use daily from my waking moment until three a.m., the witching hour.
