Behind You

Move to resolve a problem
Don’t let it settle in your mind
Do not let it habit be
‘Tis neither selfishness nor whim
To bring light to the blind
Their inconsiderations see
Whom you treat considerately

And if you cannot get them
To you and each other be kind
Continue self-ascendantly
Leaving pettiness behind
