Notes About The Poem

Knowing a man who trashes a war vets house then uses excuse after excuse why he doesn't need to clean any of it for months is so tiring to deal with, especially when he continually pretends he's the victim. This is more a rant to let off steam..

Self help: A Mental Excuse That Fails the Pub Test

The guy who blames, takes nothing on board, 
Here are a few things he should know,
That the world is not a “him against them”, 
Instead it’s a place he can grow,

He needs to not use poor mental health, 
Not use it as an excuse or a cloak,
But rather fix this in a world full of help, 
Properly fix what is mentally broke,

And then to take charge of his incoming cash, 
Organise his monetary wage,
Understand others money is not his to take, 
That taking’s not normal, it’s strange,

And accept people don’t agree with all that he does, 
From his boss, his neighbours, his mates,
Respect others houses and not trash them inside, 
Not to fill up their house full of hate.
