No Metaphor Or Rhetoric

 
to be nice is to smile into peoples' face
rejoice when they echo, or else, just pass
and to be nice is to say Hello to your foe
not from weakness, but from a heart's force    

to be generous,is just to give what you own
what you need more,that you'd be deprieved of
to feel the need of others, more than yours
and thus take this part of you, to then offer

loose yourself and mix with those you abhor
the hateful feelings won't exist ever more                                              
they are only your own mindset and prejudice
give them alibis, they are humans nonetheless

so, put your arrogance aside, act on the fly
what within you will surge in its spontaneity
if wrongly negative, just apologize Bona-Fide
The positive response ever appeals to either side

address them on the level they see things
more redundant wording will distract the mind
and what you first intended, could be spoiled
no Rhetoric or metaphor, one-line speech can win
