We are ninety per cent water with a bit of bone and brain <br />And we do not like warm sunshine and we do not like the rain <br />And some anthropoligists claim our ancestors were people of the trees <br />But of one fact I am certain we are bloody hard to please. <br /> <br />Some find reason to dislike you if to their culture you don't belong <br />Or if your God to theirs is different with you they find something wrong <br />And if your skin colour is different with you they don't feel at ease <br />And one of our greatest frailties is we are bloody hard to please <br /> <br />If you are a wealthy tycoon and you own half of the town <br />There are many like me out there doing their best to drag you down <br />And they do not like you either if you shovel in mud up to your knees <br />We are rather complicated and we are bloody hard to please. <br /> <br />You may be a social worker and one of those who help the poor <br />And for the social ills that plague us you are trying to find the cure <br />But some will see in your acts of kindness a weakness on which they can seize <br />And find cause to criticize you we are bloody hard to please. <br /> <br />You show some a flowering garden and they will only see decay <br />Though for that I ought not to criticize them since I too am a bit that way <br />In most humans cynicism is an incurable disease <br />One might say we are dysfunctional and so bloody hard to please. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-are-bloody-hard-to-please/
