Bingo fill: a Rondeau

[fuzzyred]

Writing this rondeau for the "starting a major project" square on the Public Activities Card for Fresh Starts Bingo Fest was a bit tricky, but I think I made it work.

Building Something Better
a rondeau

It's going to be a lot of work
but it's not something we can shirk.
If everyone will lend a hand,
the good will spread across the land.
Find not the downside, but the perk.

The wealthy and aloof we will irk;
our generosity they think a quirk,
but the middle class can withstand
a lot of work.

Too many souls are left to lurk
in the shadows, faced with fate's cruel smirk.
It's time to begin something grand,
reaching out to help without demand;
improving quality of life is worth
a lot of work.
