In a world filled with random acts

Of violence,

Cruelty in the name

Of  Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed

Widespread hatred and despair

There is one simple thing

That we can all do

That we all must do

A radical yet simple action

Every day, commit one or more

Random acts of kindness

Give someone a seat on the train

Let someone pass your car

Randomly pay a stranger’s lunch

Or dinner bill

Forward inspirational memes

Far and wide

Write love poems and share them

The list is endless

Just channel your inner goodness

Commit a random act of kindness

And that will begin to turn

The tide of cruelty, despair, and hate

 Into compassion, kindness, and love

Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, and your parents

Would all approve of this message.
