Take in the oxygen,
And let out carbon.

Take in the love,
And let out the hate.

Take in the happiness,
And let out the sadness.

Take in the smells,
And let out the stenches.

Take in the flowers,
And let out the weeds.

Take in the water,
And let out the wastes.

Take in the needs,
And let out the wants.

Your let out’s… are someone else’s take in’s.

Take in the carbon,
And let out the oxygen.

Take in the hate,
And let out the love.

Take in the sadness,
And let out the happiness.

Take in the stenches,
And let out the smells.

Take in the weeds,
And let out the flowers.

Take in the wastes
And let out the water.

Take in the wants,
And let out the needs.

The second is the less fortunate… the first just takes advantage.
