Life Will Return What You Give

How mean can a human get
When did you stop and forget
People feel hurt and sad
Being treated rude and bad
Your mind needs a big reboot
Before you go off and shoot
Another remark filled with hate
Take a minute, think and wait
How you would feel if someone
Made you cry like you have done
To folks who do not deserve
To hear strong offensive words
Remember we are all the same
It is mean and really lame
To judge others differently
Open up your eyes and see
The person in front of you
Has a heart that feels too
Everyone is similar
Let me make this very clear
Treating someone with disdain
Leaves you with nothing to gain
But a cold lonely existence
When your filled with no resistance
To change the way you've been acting
Leaving other folks reacting
With the heartache you inflict
And the life that you have picked
