We all do it - every one of us here on the planet

Decisions are made about what's important to set

In order and in front of other things in sequence

And so we do it, and relegate others to legions -



The mass of lower priorities then become quite old

As we then go on in search of those which are gold

In our minds, and thus ... we follow closely those 

We have placed on order from our heads to our toes



So it us with all the people who everyday we meet

Some do come across as hard or bitter - not sweet

And so we relegate them to the back of the pack

Choosing to focus on the sweet ones who do tack



Out their messages of kindness and solid support

For these people are the kind we need so much more

And so we do place them in a higher place in mind

For they have shown consistently they can be kind



If there is something wrong with this persuasion

Much is wrong with those who see not the equation

They are living lives with blinders around heads

So cannot see the forest and only the trees instead.
