The world needs... (challenge)

What do people need?,
What to say?,
What to do?,
I'd say I have solutions,
Well maybe one or two,
But I'm sure that I'll forget
Probably a couple few,
First forgiveness is a given,
Understanding,
Or at least try?,
And everyone I know could use
Less heartache and lies,
They cause so much distrust,
Proliferating foolish pride,
Drenching souls in darkness,
Quenching precious light,
What's right is real and decent love,
Truthful, honest, open,
Sincere and monogamous,
Not twisted, mangled, broken,
Also maybe something,
Slightly more selfless,
Not sad ,depressing,angry,
And entirely selfish...
