Irrefutable Confusion

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
I do not understand just why
There are some folks who will not try
The Golden Rule at all!

How is it that they do not care
When peace is something all can share?
Perhaps they can't recall

When someone lent a helping hand
Despite the fact it wasn't planned,
But they could see the need.

And so, treat others in the way
You'd like to see on any day,
Them helping you succeed!

About this poem
