Good People

The thing about this world is that your forget that there are some good people in it

Bad people everywhere

(I really wanted to use other terms, but….)

People who hate

Abuse

Manipulate

And it seems as if the more power your get

The more money you have

The more of a jerk you are!

And so we have the 1%

And we have angry boys with guns

We have the big money stealing our choice of who will lead our country

So we have child abusers

And men who beat women (in more ways than one)

And women who too, are violent and manipulative

And so we have people who are profoundly poor

And school shootings

And a political system that only represents a few

And we have traumatized people

Crushed and wounded

In the midst of all of this

I forget that there are so many good people

Who care

And help

Who give rides, and cut wood

And provide support

And food

And love

Who spending time visiting and listen

People who ooze compassion

And generosity and

Love

Good people

Thank you God, for the good people

Who surround me every day
