Sometimes I Wonder (Poem No 582)
Sometimes I wonder,
Why people so mean and cruel.
They talk like they will live forever;
Better off it do not mean better than others.
They're quick to judge and insult,
They project themselves as if they are not at fault.
They accuse you as if they are truly know you,
What a pity self-righteous fellow.
God made human in His own image.
Taken from the cluster of clay from earth.
He formed the dust with his palms.
He breath into the nostrils; the clay became a man.
So next time when you're full of hate
and malice, and belittling someone;
Think of how we got here on first hand.
Ask self; "Where do I come from?"
The words you utter is so sharp,
Cut through...like a dagger pierce in the heart.
Watch your own words for sooner or later,
It will come back to you in short time manner.
For what goes around comes around.
Like boomerang when you throw it out,
It will come right back at you without a doubt.
if you will not dock you will get hurt.
You can try to outrun the boomerang,
You can run as quickly as you can.
But remember the hurt you cause to someone,
T'will not go unnotice, God sees it all
So watch your tongue.
