The Trouble With People
Many people in this life, just go on living.
Grasping on to pot of gold, instead of giving.
They don’t help and they don’t share,
for it seems they just don’t care.
Rather hang on to a grudge, than be forgiving.
We should take a deeper look and search within.
Is our purpose in this life, merely to win?
Do we stop and lend a hand?
Do we try to understand
that a white lie that we tell, is still a sin?
On another, do we step on to reach fame?
Have we severed roots of tree from which we came?
Time for actions to review.
May not be too late for you.
Keep in mind that when we die, we’re all the same.
About this poem
Sometimes we may get blinded by our goals in life and don’t see what truly matters.
