Whatever Happened To Common Courtesy (In Our World Today)

A smile

After saying

Hello & A Later Goodbye

Is worthwhile

Like when a firm handshake

Becomes complementary to others

Who've achieved

Their dreams within reality

Why not congratulate

Your peers

By wishing them well

Instead of relishing

A failure spell

To happen too them

For the sake of team jealousy

What's a relevant topic

In the eyes of our world today

Is it the return of chivalry

Or this constant curiosity

As too

I think you're so right with everything that you're saying, you just nailed it.
Great write :)

I found this unsettlingly easy to relate to. Being kind should be the easiest thing in the world to do, but not so in this world, where it's so much easier to be cynical, even mistrustful of those who do happen to be kind. Well done :)

Everyone is wrapped up in themselves I think today...nicely done Brian as always...Rose

Good advice, indeed. It feels good too.
