A Good Person and Healthy Inertia

Hello,

I wrote this today.

Again, it is kind of clunky, but I aim to share strategies to increase well-being and just continue to put out more poetry. 

***

I do all that I can

To be a good person

To understand the things

That we should be versed in

Like lending a hand

When it eases hurt and

To use common sense then,

At least our version

*

Usually

we do what we think is for the best

By taking the actions

that help ourselves

*

It seems best to also

do what helps out others

That are down, cold or unprotected 

But some people just don’t get it,

how it helps us to include all of the rest

*

In choices we have wealth

that create more chances for health

*

Imagine that we blanket the whole world

With a shared love

that keeps us covered

And gives us so much more

Needed synergy

**

I try to have a plan

To be a good person

I look out for myself

But stay well-immersed in 

Air, water and land

That we had our birth in

To keep us defending

But not be the cursed one

*

Who won’t share

or play fair

Or give all people their rights

Yes, we must take actions

that help ourselves

*

That includes considering

what helps all others

That are hidden

from calm and warm light

Visions that get us through the night

That help keep a good future

clearly in sight

*

Kind voices bring more health

Sharing understanding can help

*

Imagine that we connect to the world

Parallel thoughts that we discover

Can give us channels for 

Our own energy

*

I have to take a stand

To be a good person

Protect our connection 

Help us all to first win

Supply and demand

That we find such worth in

To beat the tension

Start healthy inertia

I don’t have a tonne of people pictures to share, but this is a picture of some statues / sculptures, of one of my biggest heroes, such an amazing, good person, Terry Fox.  This was not taken this year, but was taken about the same time of year.  Not many could be as heroic as Terry Fox, but if we make an effort to stand up for good causes, the health of our world can gain inertia.
