Each On Reach One

Put yourself second
Aid those in need
You can make a difference

If everybody
Took a moment

For someone else
On this planet
Radical change
Would Occur
And everyone would be
Rewarded some
Day

So good to see you and you know I love you but...

(that sounds ominous at the beginning of a crit, eh, it is)
Sorry to fuck up your acrostic but don't ever preach, mate, please.

I put myself second
Aid those in need
I can make a difference

If everybody
Took a moment

To stop those destroying
This planet
and make them pay
Radical change
Would Occur
And the reward would be
the survival of our species.

Funny, I didn't take this to

Funny, I didn't take this to be preaching, just a reminder to humanity that by putting others first, the world would be a better place. I also whole heartedly agree with your version Weirdelf, to me, the message didn't matter which person it was written in.
