The Bigger Picture

Human beings are an interesting species.

Each one of us is unique, but also the same.

We all have the same needs, but different ways to achieve them.

Some use honesty and kindness.

Working hard to get to places they want to be.

Others take a more sinister route.

Harming others to achieve their goals.

If only humanity looked inwards.

And learned

Just learned to look at the bigger picture.

They would see the stupidness of some of their actions.

I would change every human being,

So that they would be aware

Of all the harm and destructiveness

They bring on our world and ourselves as a whole.

I would give them

The sense of perspective

To understand

To empathize

To care.

Maybe then would we live

In a more perfect world.
