Why are there people
Who are sensitive and feel
But only to things that they only feel
Why are they blind, to the hurt that they cause
The feelings they’ve stomped on
And they don’t even pause
I guess that they’re selfish, and only can see
What really may hurt them
But not what hurts thee
And if you bring up the feeling that you have
They discount them and feel you should have
The time to sooth their hurts and to improve
They really are selfish, they really are rude
When their hearts are stomped on
Oh you hear them exclaim
Oh why am I picked on, oh why I exclaim
Maybe it is payback, that they do receive
They say things come around, to those who are mean
It is hard to wake up those
Who are concerned just with selves
And moan and complain, with what they’ve been dealt
What’s really so hard, Is that you want to be kind
You still want to help them, but hope that they find
That somehow they’ll wake up to, how they have been
And hope that you don’t have, to take on the chin
Any more harsh words, any more guff
You pray they’ll refrain from, all of that stuff
I guess that’s the best thing, that you must try to do
Is try to be an example, in all that you do
And maybe that some day, they’ll awaken and see
That kindness given, will come back to thee
But some times those patterns, are so hard to break
And you pray that they will so, for both of your sakes
So if you’ve a person, like this in your life
And many years they have, just caused you strife
I guess as I said, once before up above
You must pray that guidance, can come from above
If you keep on praying, maybe he’ll answer with yes
Because he’ll get sick, of all of this mess
