Instead of developing thicker skin,
I wish the world,
Would instead,
Decide to become,
A little kinder.
Kinder to everyone,
Whether there be differences,
Or similarities,
Kinder to everyone,
Regardless of gender,
Kinder to everyone,
No matter their skin color,
Kinder to everyone,
Whether two or eighty,
Kinder to everyone,
No matter their IQ,
Just think of the world,
You could be living in,
If one day we decided,
To all be a little,
Kinder to everyone,
Kinder to you.
Wouldn’t it be nice, indeed! I do not think this will ever happen, not during my lifetime.
Sad to say but I don’t think I’ll see it happen during my lifetime either….. but I live in hope = )

I need to memorize this as a response to getting thicker skin or tefelon mind or other “coping skills” to deal with a harsh world.
Indeed, we don’t need thicker skin or teflon minds, what we need is a little more kindness. Thank you for reblogging my poem
Thanks for the follow, Seventhvoice. I love this, it is very simple and bare,I mean that in a good way. I wish kindness was ‘cool’. That would answer so many issues. But it isn’t. So thousands upon thousands of children and adults around the world suffer because it is ‘cool’ to be cruel. A simplistic overview, yes, but it would be a huge start. I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Thank you metadreamer

A beautiful world it would be if kindness ruled. Nice thoughts you’ve shared.
Thank you S = )
