Is Being Good Worth It?
I never regret
Being good to good people,
But how ’bout scoundrels?
It’s hard to be good
To the rascals in our lives;
They’re good-for-nothings
Don’t want to be nice
To the thief or vagabond –
Incorrigibles
The mischief-maker
And the no good scalawag
Deserve my disdain.
What was that you said?
I should practice what I preach:
Love one another?
Boastful liars, cheats?
People running us amuck??
I gotta love them???
Wellll, alrighty then..
This ain’t gonna be easy!
I’ll give it a try.
Sometimes it’s so hard
Because the outrage is real.
Do you understand?
The outrageousness
Of crazy people’s actions
Makes being nice hard!
Do those scoundrels care?
Do they have stories to tell?
Can I listen well?
Maybe listening
Is the kindest thing I do.
Love one another!
Will you join with me?
Yes, being good is worth it.
Be the change you want
to see.
See ya tomorrow.
