Making a difference

Demands special skills

It may not always 

Call for a person

To be a social butterfly

- – -

Things may begin

In baby steps

Like dropping 

A neighbor off

For a doctor’s appointment

- – -

Others choose to fellowship

In their house of prayer

Or over a cup of coffee

Each morning

At a restaurant

Where they hold court

- – -

Some attend city council meetings

To give their opinions

On upcoming zoning laws

Garbage pickups

Or how to deal with truants

In their community 

- – -

Many retirees volunteer

At libraries, schools

Food banks

Meals on wheels

And give clothing

To disabled vets

- – -

Some become active

In walkathons

Sponsored

To fight the spread

Of breast cancer

Alzheimer’s disease

Or sickle cell anemia

- – -

Political action

May be on the list

Of some advocates

When they call, write

Or text their Congressman

Concerning legislation

They will like to see pass

- – -

If nothing works

Some Americans

Take to the streets

Like the recent 

Demonstrations

About Wall Street
