People can be so ignorant,
when yet, they are so smart
they do some stupid things
that can break a persons heart.

People can be so dumb,
with the things they do
they don't learn from number one
so they try for a number two.

People don't understand the pain,
that  other people feel
until they wear the same worn shoes
traveling up that hill.
