On the bus this morning
I saw a young woman
Rifling through her purse.
She was looking for her bus pass
And the driver waited,
Impatiently, for her to find it.
Five minutes later, I said,
“Here.”
I used my pass
And swiped her on.
“Thanks,” she said,
Hurriedly making her way
To a seat.
I don’t believe in karma,
But I do believe
It never hurts
To give a helping hand.
Most people
Don’t give a shit
About anything.
I’ve tried my whole life
Not to be
Most people.
It’s a lot harder
Than it seems
But all it takes
Is an honest try.
