Spread Kindness by Peter Reum

It is said that life cannot be fair
That to believe in fairness is naive
Cynics boast that to show you care
Brings heartbreak with no reprieve

Earthly desires shine with brightness
They sparkle with a persistent glow
The holidays promise the generous kindness,
Giving gifts supposedly can show

Why do we sequester human civility
To a brief period called holidays
People should manifest magnanimity
Year 'round, not 11 months of malaise

Daily empathy offered beats the holidays
Taking a few minutes of listening
Builds a sense of newborn sunshine rays
Open kindness leads to smiles glistening

Consider the possibility of holiday kindness
Becoming a twelve month reality
Putting into practice humanity's finest
Daily holiday spirit consistently
