Couldn’t we inspire that quality of
empathy in the hearts
and minds of regular folk,
if we consider that goodness is real
and everything isn’t a
stony-hearted joke?
Or just pessimistic.
Perhaps what you need
is a Lasso in your life.
Maybe
I
could be your Lasso?
You’re being idealistic.
I’m being realistic.
Then let me be the
one to assure you,
that even in a world
that seems like it’s dying,
with so many people
lying to get ahead,
that compassion
is not dead.
Lasso isn’t insane,
as you state,
Instead,
He’s an example of
altruism to elevate.
Well, it is true,
that you are frightfully kind,
and your goodness is often unconfined.
Fine.
Perhaps it takes more than one viewing
to understand whether
a Lasso-like personality is worth pursuing.
Shall we then watch it again?
Together?
I was hoping you would ask.
