 I look for goodness; it is out there; 
 people trying to do the right things 
 on a regular basis.  One could almost 
 predict who will show up when 
 there is something to do. 
 
 They come; do what is needed;
 leave fulfilled and often tired.  
 There are many who do this and 
 also many who would like to 
 but cannot for various reasons.
  
 They do their good in other ways.  
 The joy of giving of yourself cannot
 be overstated.  Happy people are givers.
  
 Those unhappy keep looking out for 
 themselves always wanting more but 
 more was the wrong choice and 
 now they wish they had chosen 
 something different, a yellow car 
 instead of the red on they settled on.  

 They become depressed and affect 
 other people.  What should be 
 systemic joy is melded into 
 a bland populace.  Blandness leads 
 to indifference.  Where some care 
 about condition and others don’t. 
 
 Respect for others becomes a lost notion 
 which leads to a divide eventually goes 
 to the courts.  This comes with costs 
 paid for with citizen’s money and in 
 the end one side is a victor and 
 the other is bitter and in a sense
 everyone loses. 
 
 The coming together 
 is not that difficult if pride and 
 ego could be set aside.  We have 
 a way to go and many steps to take, 
 but eventually sensibility will take 
 us to where we want to be.  
 Our integrity will have been restored.
