*People just being people. These are the kind I want to be around. How I deplore those putting on airs. I like the folks whose both feet touch the ground! Uppity people won’t hang out with lower class folks. Some society types brag about their good breeding. For those born with golden spoons in their mouths, education in REAL life is what they are needing! Fashionistas and upper class snobs on the hill seem to think that blue collar’s a sin. Too many people have hate for their brothers. *We are all alike beneath the skin! What matters the most is being yourself. As they say, “To thy own self be true.” So this world might at last enjoy full peace, we must respect those who don’t think like we do! Sept. 30, 2019 for Richard Lamoureux's Pick A Line Any Line Poetry Contest *The title and first line are from Richard's poem: Broken People The other line *is from my poem: A Love Letter to my Friends of India (see Link in box above for my Love Letter poem)
