Some People

Why do some people like to put others down When they should be lifting others up off the ground Why do some people speak harsh words with so much zeal When the words they speak should help someone to heal Why do some people spread lies and gossip that they hear When what is said is thoughtless and insincere Why do some people judge by the color of one's skin When they should be looking at the soul that lives within Why do some people take but never give When giving may help someone to live Why do some people always seem to complain When joy and good things they should proclaim Why do some people seek joy through material things When care and kindness is what pulls the heart strings Why do some people have hate in their hearts When unconditional love is what they should impart Why do some people live in a negative world When there is so much beauty and goodness to behold -C.A.Saputo xoxo

I hope so too! I myself have been guilty of some of these but I'm trying to be more aware of my behavior & be a better version of myself! :)
