Poem

If never your situation has resigned you to expiration
Then professing “What he should have done” is quite the meaningless declaration
So if never you’ve felt the frigid breath of death upon your own neck
Your second guess should be curbed at best
Unless adept to directly reflect

If never you’ve chosen love preferring to lust within an instant
Then never should you counsel on the requirements of commitment
And if never a child you’ve had because being without them was your preference
Then far be it for you to question my methods without point of reference

If never you’ve gone hungry or lived in shelters overcrowded
Then why claim “It’s only money” if you’ve never known life without it?
And if never you’ve been homeless
And your money truly piles in drifts    
Why offer a poor man gruff instead of a dollar you wouldn’t miss?

If never you’ve seen a day where a crime made you a victim
Then never should you look down on one who earns an honest living
 No matter a man’s occupation
Ask God to give him strength to push through                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Because if never he made a dollar doing that 
There’s a chance he’d be taking from you

So if never you’ve walked these shoes
Then humble your views
Shoes are not all leather
These truths are not meant to amuse 
 But to keep you from speaking just to try and sound clever
And if speaking you feel you must
Never speak of storms you haven’t weathered  
Because if never you’ve had the pleasure of knowing never
You wouldn’t ever
