Absurd
What if judgment
And preconceived notions
Became obsolete,
No longer set into motion?
The voice in our heads
Reprogrammed and tweaked,
Focused solely on praise,
Only compliments did speak.
The energy spent on
Comparison or critique
Channeled productively into
Accomplishing great feats.
Admiration and acceptance
Becoming the norm,
As unconditional tolerance
Hits town like a storm!
What if true compassion
Became popular and cool,
So caring and kindness
Went viral and ruled?
Good intentions abound
In all human interactions,
Creating trust and confidence,
Enabling real satisfaction.
All efforts poured forth
Promote undeniable union,
Collaborating together
In perfect communion.
Uplifting each other
Through intention and word,
Well-meaning thoughts
Always spoken or inferred.
What if tomorrow
We agreed to change ways,
Rewrote life’s script,
Started a wild new craze?
A plot twist unexpected
Yet readily embraced,
Suddenly joy and elation
Are staring us in the face!
A new culture of courage
Is born from within,
Growing quickly to flourish,
Sprouting hope once again.
And what if each one of us
Internalized these words?
Then took that first step,
Knowing the opposite is absurd.
