"The Challenge" Inspired by That’s Debatable:

The Challenge


If I was brave enough

to speak,

I would say, “Stop it!”

If I was eloquent enough

to persuade,

I would ask,

“Why not just be kind?”

People claim to want peace,

they claim to want happiness,

they ask for forgiveness

and the benefit of the doubt,

but then the same people,

judge

argue

brush off

complain about

the rest of the populace.

If we assumed those around us

are doing their best

rather than ruining our lives,

would we be more inclined to help?

If we didn’t take another’s bad day personally,

would we be the bright spot

to make them smile?

I dare you to be kind today

and see how everything is improved

by simple kindness.
