Why do people act so rude? <br />Is it about some unspoken rule? <br />By ranting and raising the roof. <br />When you mess up by a total goof. <br /> <br />Why do people act so supreme? <br />When at a point of low-esteem. <br />Looking down with an evil gleam. <br />You're wishing this is a bad dream. <br /> <br />Their tongues lash out like a quick whip. <br />You're thinking 'Mmmm, maybe I'll quit? ' <br />Then you see your pockets are so light, <br />Reality sinks in and your thoughts ignite. <br /> <br />You scrape up the courage that's running light, <br />You say what you feel and hold on tight. <br />You might feel like you're the idiot in sight, <br />But at least you gave it a fair fight. <br /> <br />Why do people speak with their backs turned? <br />Don't they know it's kindness they lack? <br />They turn their heads sideways and show unconcern. <br />Oh, I'd like to give them a smack. <br /> <br />I take a step back and see thru their eyes. <br />And wonder is that what they think of me? <br />Will they succumb to their demise? <br />Am I as insensitive as can be? <br /> <br />I doubt that at all, <br />Because I will not fall, <br />To their level of awful. <br />With a black eye.<br /><br />Pookey's Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-do-people-act-like-that/
