Bad People

Bad People

Good things happen to good people
Bad things happen to good people too

Bad people, early or late become exposed

Good people can take a bath and shower
Rid themselves of filth

Bad people will shower and bathe
And go to the grave still dirty

Evil is the prevailing force on Earth
It has been around forever

That is why good people are hard to find
They are like diamonds hidden in the dirt

This poem is not a contest item. I simply wanted to write something simple and direct. I'm glad you found some merit in it. I just wrote and posted "Mary", a Christmas poem. I might enter that in a contest if the opportunity presents itself. Have a great week end. Earl

I like to keep things simple when I can. Have a great week end. Have fun! Earl

Jan Allison Date: 11/28/2014 3:38:00 PM wow earl this is very deep but sadly in some cases oh so true - also applies to selfish thoughtless people and the issues they cause - love the final stanza! Its a 7 from me! Hugs jan xxx Login to Reply Earl Schumacker Date: 11/28/2014 3:45:00 PM Hi Jan, Thank you so much. I wish you only diamonds in your life. Take it easy. Take care. Earl.
