Be Curious
A fiery southern belle
Hoping that all ends well
For everyone has a story to tell,
And even though Lot’s wife
Became a pillar of salt,
Remember to pause and ponder,
And not just halt,
For if people are
Hungry,
Angry,
Lonely,
Or tired,
Then why not try to inspire
To help civilization
Undergo transformation
To a world where
Civil civility
Could truly be
A reality much like chivalry
