For to make a better World to live in you can help in no small way <br />You can live by love and kindness do a good deed every day <br />You cannot be kind to others if your higher self you can't embrace <br />And that applies to everybody of every culture and every race. <br /> <br />I am not one in search of platitudes claiming the higher moral ground <br />I am just your average battler flaws in me are easily found <br />But for understanding, love and kindness i am trying to make a case <br />Make yourself a better person make the World a better place. <br /> <br />To live in for yourself and others no contribution is too small <br />Everybody in some small way can contribute to a fair go for all <br />By making yourself a better person a kinder face to humanity you create <br />The foe that you have at the moment can tomorrow become your best mate. <br /> <br />To make the World a better place to live in make yourself a better woman or man <br />For peace and justice for all we can make a contribution though short enough is our time span <br />If for others we can show compassion and if for others we can genuinely care <br />Then for the betterment of the human family you surely are doing your own share.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-to-make-a-better-world-to-live-in/
