Think before you prank—let kindness and empathy lead the way. A playful reminder that while April's pranks bring laughs, every act deserves a dose of empathy and responsibility.
April has begun, stunts are up
Throwing off puns, jokes all around
People might shrub, some might not
Think wise, let the mind sound
In a place where pranks are common
People quickly lacking observation
A simple trick sparks an ignition
Worse, a reason of destruction
May we reflect and question ourselves,
Are my acts proper and ethical?
Deciding proper, genuine and bold,
Act conventional, choose what’s practical
Understanding that people need empathy
Starting with those living and earning fairly
To emergency and other’s insecurity
May we vow to spread kindness and sensitivity
