did nothing but teach us to 'play nice' and befriend 'the new kid'
Our fellow 7 year old peers would say
'stop being a baby cry' and the very famous 'don't be a tattle tale'
And then we grew up and somehow forgot about
these simple but important things in life
To 'play nice' and be fair with our fellow human beings
ie stop spreading petty gossip
It does nothing for you–but draw away from your goodness
Instead of befriending the new kid
We have gone on to make fun of their differences
To shun them for things they have no control of
We have made them feel worse for being who they are
We have forgotten to be welcoming and make them feel at home
Somehow hospitality has been thrown out the window
Especially here, the place that prides itself with Lady Liberty
You know, the gift from the French that stand on Ellis Island
Where so many immigrants first step foot as they reached
The Land of the Free
This world is big enough for everyone
and then some
So why are we being so cruel?
Why can we not accept those migrants that have
Come from so far
To make a better living for themselves and their families
They want what we came here for
The American Dream
With hopes to one day return to that place
They once called home and say 'hey I made it,
With the help of some awesome people
That did nothing but make me feel at home'
Why can't we just embrace it?
The difference that makes this world go 'round
And has gifted us with so much beauty
I mean our fries are 'French' are they not?
It's time to stop being a tattle tale and pointing out the obvious
We're all different
It's time to stop being a 'baby cry' in a grown up pity party
It's time to let the new kid know that your the Fonz and say
'ey!' your more than ok! and have some Happy Days
Because in the end, it's what we all want
Happy Days
Full of kindness
Let's just play nice–it's much less stressful
