The World Needs More Loving-Kindness

When I got to the Zen temple,
I heard that Zen was about
loving-kindness,
and so I was sold on it,
but I didn't seem to receive
much loving-kindness,
but I tried to give it,
even though I wasn't very good
at it,
and so I think that loving-kindness
is what the world needs,
but it's hard to give,
because if I give loving-kindness
to men,
they think I'm gay,
and if I give loving-kindness
to women,
they think I'm hitting on them,
so I try
to be loving-kind,
but it's difficult
in this world
with all the stupidity

that we all seem to have.
