A Great Idea
I’d like you to consider, what I am about to say,
I think I’ve a great idea — one that could go a long way.
It’s really very simple, and easy to carry out,
So, let me cut to the chase — tell you what it’s all about.
For every wrong thing you do, do something right, something good,
Do this because you want to, not because you think you should.
Such will help counter, somewhat balance, that wrong thing you’ve done,
NO! — it won’t fix things, let you off — what’s done is done, can’t be
undone.
It’ll simply even things up, so to speak, even outweigh —
For hopefully — with time — less wrong and more right, you’ll display.
However, just adding a right to a wrong, is worthwhile,
So smile, go the extra mile, and where you can — reconcile.
Sadly, we all make mistakes, do wrong things, and cause upsets,
And we all wish that we hadn’t, feel so bad, and have regrets.
But one thing that we can do, is add a right to a wrong,
By doing something good, shortly after — not take too long.
If we all carried this out, so much better things would be,
Our world would be much brighter, and more folk far more happy.
For there would be more sunshine, than is currently shining,
And hopefully, clouds of darkness, gradually declining.
It’s a simple formula, but a good one, that won’t fail,
That is, where the right attitude, and willingness, prevail.
It’s one — that won’t let a wrong have its own way — but instead,
Over the top of that wrong — a dollop of good — seeks to spread.
In other words — form a habit — that will help dilute wrong,
Surround a mournful ballad, with a brighter, sweeter, song.
Turn the table on wrong things, get even, by doing good,
Don’t let wrong things win the day, that’s not something that one should.
