At the hospital:
You will understand
Nothing is more beautiful than the gift of health,
A precious treasure we hold.
Treat your body with care,
Let it splendor, untouched by the worldly bane.
In prison and zoo:
You’ll see that freedom is the most precious thing.
Life in isolation, is brutish
And what's clinged on is hopes and dreams.
At the cemetery:
You'll realize that everyone has an end,
As life does not last forever,
Therefore, cherish your life while living now,
As death is a constant reminder that,
The ground we walk on today will be our roof tomorrow.
At a school:
You will find that learning
And gaining knowledge
Is an exercise that our brain never gets tired of doing.
imagine,
Putting together the brains of,
Albert Einstein, Open Heimer, Nikola Tesla, and Issac Newton
What they would create would be Godly.
In a warzone:
You will realize that nothing is worth fighting for in this life,
Everything we own,
The homes, cars, watches, clothes, land etc
Will be possessed by different people in a 100 years.
At the food bank:
You'll realise how a simple meal,
Can make a huge difference in someones life,
And how priveleged you are having access to regular meals.
At a refugee center:
You will realize that having a home sweet home,
Is the best thing that someone can be offered.
On a job site:
You will realize that you cannot get anything without
The use of your hands,
And, whoever does not work doesn’t deserve to eat.
