My View From the Porch

Only stupid people call people stupid
Only losers will cheat in order to win
Only inferior people try acting superior
Only liars will give the truth a new spin

Only the insecure put down those who are different
Only those who won’t listen are loudest to speak
Only the greediest among us acquire no value
Only those who aren’t strong pick on the meek

Only the hardened heart spews venom of hate
Only those who throw stones are bound to be hit
Only those who are willing to admit they aren’t perfect
Are welcomed to join me on the porch where I sit
