Easy To Criticize Others

It’s easy to criticize others 
For their faults we don’t seem to possess
Each of us being perfectly blessed:

“I don’t like the car he drives 
Or the shifty look in her eyes, it seems to me
They have some strange ideas and beliefs
Like they don’t eat beef
Or talk the way we do
And I don’t like the way they
Walk, talk, run, dance and prance 
Around as if they own this town
And oh by the way did I say 
How much I dislike the way he always frowns and 
Spikes his hair up strange 
And she’s nothing but a pain
Who drives us all insane
But as far as me I’m free
Of imperfections;
Just ask and I’ll give you some directions.”

Elizabeth Wesley September 19, 2011 at 9:27 PM Well, despite the last line, I don't think you could ever be accused of doing so. In spite of the truth here, your sense of humor shines through.

Dan Kearley August 8, 2011 at 6:17 PM Right! I think the world would be a better place.If all those that criticize others would bite thier tongue when they do it.Ouch!!!

Kimberly Larocca August 7, 2011 at 12:21 AM I really liked this one. It actually reminded me of one I wrote a while ago. Poets really do analyze every little thing.
