Committing Random Acts of Kindness

24 lines

In a world filled with random acts
Of violence,
Cruelty in the name
Of Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed
Widespread hatred and despair

There is one simple thing
That we can all do
That we all must do
A radical yet simple action

Every day, commit one or more
Random acts of kindness

Give someone a seat on the train
Let someone pass your car
Randomly pay a stranger’s lunch
Or dinner bill

Forward inspirational memes
Far and wide
Write love poems and share them
The list is endless

Just channel your inner goodness
Commit a random act of kindness
And that will begin to turn

The tide of cruelty, despair, and hate
Into compassion, kindness, and love
Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, and your parents
Would all approve of this message.
