Remember
even as this world goes mad
let us always remember to remember
we can always choose, always choose life
always choose to love
and to treat other humans
with respect and compassion
to defend ourselves certainly
if and when attacked, but
also, and more importantly,
to extend ourselves to help others
and always, in every way, every
creative way we can conceive, always
to demonstrate with the example
of our every breathing motion
the inspiring power of the positive
positive in our projections
of love
& struggle, love for each
other & creative struggles
to help one another
struggles to make this world
better and more beautiful
even as the world continues
to go mad
we must continue, we must remember
