Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

More Than One Way

It's easier to pin someone down
than to trust that they'll stay when you ask
The easy way gives them no chance to resist
but it only does harm, no good

It's easier to shoot first
than risk getting hurt yourself
Even though using words instead of weapons
could save a life instead of ending one

There will always be people
who pick the easy way of doing things
because they think it's too hard
to do things the right way

Next time you have a decision
When there's more than one way
Before you make a choice, ask yourself
Is this right?
