Wear your heart like a golden brooch
Shine it so all see
Your goodness is as you would be
Your courage is itself beyond reproach.
Darwin knows, some try to say
That the weak should fear the strong
Well this has gone on for so long
Can you honestly say you like this way?
I propose you think on those
Who live in darker minds
Their hatred builds up and then blinds
Them from the hard path each has chose.
I met a man who said to me
Love is like a destiny
I met a man who frowned at me
And he was neither glad nor free.
Love yourselves to love another
Love your sister, love your brother,
Love the man who scowls at you
For in that heaven may be true.

My thoughts on the altruistic revolution. Our world is becoming more of a loving place and I intend to take part in that. :)

Here's where I got the poem idea.
