Living In Harmony

By Vidhi Sangoi

What a figurative world we live in,

Where giving a chocolate to a child would make us happy, but helping a homeless person on the street would be considered sketchy.

We sure love to make someone smile,

Then why do we always hold ourselves back from going that extra mile?

It’s not that we’re not kind towards our own,

But rather than competing, it’s time we begin complimenting and help each other grow.

Everyone that we know are fighting through their struggles ever day looking for hope,

Perhaps a little affection from us would give them the fortitude to cope.

It’s truly my dream to help someone in any way I can,

I know it won’t change the world but it might change the world of that one fellow man.

Taking these small steps to help others is my way of trying to regain trust in humanity,

Let’s all come together and try the same to live again in harmony.

Helping someone in distress is what we’ve been taught throughout,

So, let’s help each bring out the best in ourselves whilst leaving no space for doubt.
