Poem Title:
Poem
Anyone Can steal; Anyone Can lie; Anyone Can cheat and then deny. Anyone Can be resentful and bitter, Give up easily and be then, a quitter. Anyone Can allow themselves to hate; Feed into their ego and perpetuate. Anyone Can serve only their own selfish gain; Be greedy for possessions to hoard as they obtain. Anyone Can be thoughtless, hurtful, and crude; Inconsiderate, obnoxious, spiteful, and rude. Anyone Can be phony, fake, and superficial; Project a version of themselves that's artificial. Anyone Can bully, be mean and ostracise, Judge others unfairly and always criticise. Anyone Can hold grudges, be unforgiving; Be irresponsible in the life they are living. Anyone Can be arrogant and demanding, Without empathy or any understanding. Anyone Can treat others with contempt, While from the same, feel they are exempt. Anyone Can encroach upon another's life, Create havoc, cause undue stress and strife. Anyone Can violate laws and crimes commit Just because they reason to and so, see fit. Anyone Can, through their life, breeze, And not give a damn, live as they please, Without any regards for others to care; Take, take, take and never give or share. Anyone Can talk a good talk and promises make, That with a grain of salt only others should take. Anyone Can against others commit wrong, Then refuse blame that with them does belong. Anyone Can do easy; do only what's desired Where no self restraint or effort is required. Anyone Can give in to all of life's temptations, Then make excuses for their character's limitations. There are so many things that Anyone Can do, Requiring no quality characteristics for one to pursue. 'Anyones' settle for their least and for being weak; Settle for being common and forfeit their unique. To be an 'anyone' it takes no special skill; No courage whatsoever to follow ego's will. 'Anyones' say and do whatever comes to mind; Have no self control, care not if they're unkind. 'Anyones' are a dime a dozen and are seen everywhere, While exceptional 'exceptions' are indeed so rare. The world of 'anyones' is vast; densely populated With those who think 'exceptions' are highly overrated. Anyone Can be an 'anyone', blend into today's crowd, Where they are justified; where egos are so proud; Where self promotion thrives, modesty does not; Where society, morals and honesty, no more has got. Anyone Can be an 'anyone', the easiest route to take, Where good character doesn't exist to ever be at stake. But without good character, self worth is non-existent, As is self discipline to, bad behaviours, be resistant. 'Exceptions' are the exception; 'anyones' are the rule, With the 'anyones' believing they are each a jewel. Anyone Can be an 'anyone' to fit into today's norm, But to be an 'exception' requires much character reform. Anyone Can be an 'anyone' but an 'exception' cannot be, Unless they change course, cultivating traits of integrity. Herein lies the problem since tremendous effort is required. To be an 'exception', the change to, must foremost be desired. Anyone Can be an 'anyone'. It's the easiest way to be. Hence, the plentiness of 'anyones' makes up a giant sea. So, if we choose to be an 'anyone', there is nothing else to say, While being an 'exception', speaks volumes words cannot portray.
