Remember

even as this world goes mad

let us always remember to remember

we can always choose, always choose life

always choose to love

and to treat other humans

with respect and compassion

to defend ourselves certainly

if and when attacked, but

also, and more importantly,

to extend ourselves to help others

and always, in every way, every 

creative way we can conceive, always

to demonstrate with the example

of our every breathing motion

the inspiring power of the positive

positive in our projections

of love

& struggle, love for each

other & creative struggles

to help one another

struggles to make this world

better and more beautiful

even as the world continues

to go mad

we must continue, we must remember
