My Dirty Laundry

I wash my clothes when dirty
Its nice to look good and trendy
Even when the stains are tough and greasy
Its crazy the fuss i make when doing my laundry

But the dirty laundry one has to consider is life
The many toes we step on in our strife
Backbiting Just so we make it to the spotlight
Cheating and deceiving just so we make the height

Lets us wash our lives in order to be clean
lets not cause others in the society to flee
Life is the worst laundry of all
Lets learn in order not to fall
