rudeness as its finest

Location

people are texting while they are driving

are you insane? the sad part is that they justify their wrongdoings

whatever happen to say thank you when holding the door

there is a difference between opening and holding the door

if you just open, why should i say thank you

you obviously didn't show any courtesy

i'll just brush you off like fresh dirt on my clothes

whatever happen to decent men who offer their seat to an elderly or pregnant woman

women are doing what a man is suppose to

i can see their parents didn't instill values 

i remember people saying good morning in the morning hours

it seems like people are never happy

i honor that everybody is fighting a battle we don't know about

it's what you do everyday that inspires you to keep living

people are pushing just to sit down in a seat of a bus

people overbear themselves by shoving and there's a stroller with a baby sleeping

it's the whole i don't care attitude

why is that?

we continue to misteat each other as if we are slaves in the south

where no one any rights

it's as if we are own by slavemasters with bull whips waiting for a person of color dare to escape for freedom

last time i recall

we all have the freedom of speech and expression to convey our thoughts without repercussions

it feels like in this generation, adults included, are getting worse 

by each day, each hour, each second

their jurisdiction is believe to be the notion of it is what it is

we have the power to change

we choose not to

and you know's frightening? if you are parents

what are you educationg your kids to say? to do? to think?

that it's appropriate to emulate a guy, who's pants sag, chest slapped, eyes popping out as a representation for a man

that's it's proper for replicate a girl, who's skirt is too short, spitting out babies faster than bars itself, and use a baby as a trophy to gain advantage

it's easy to do all those things above plus more

why is it hard to teach yourself and live beyond your surroundings

why is it foreign to say hello rather than lashing out and use this as an excuse to why one always get in trouble

why is prehistoric to know truthful history and not around the way gossip that is redundant like a boring professor going ovee the same material repeatedly

want to know why? because it's easy to do bad

i don't want to hear that the world is coming to a close

and even it is 

god will take all the good people with him to a better place

and everybody else can rot in hell

Sup! Life has been going well especially since I have been focusing mostly on God. WOW NYC is the unhappiest city in the U.S.!!! How could a place that started off with so many opportunities and dreams fall so unhappily into destruction. I'm glad your still keeping your head up in a city that is so unhappy. Like my pastor told me, keep being the light in a dark place and soon enough the light you shine will overcome the dark. Thanks for being a bright light in a dark place for all and I will definitely check out your other poems. God bless and keep writing on my friend:)!!!

I feel your frustration and it definitely rings true for me. I've been beat down with words so many times when I've had to stand up for what's right and when I've had to stand up for others, so I'd say I've had my fair share of the self-involved attitude. I don't know why it seems so hard to find people who think outside of themselves. But the 'fuck it, I don't care' attitude is a dangerous one.

Anyway, I like this alot.

hi jeanette

thank you for your comments

the idea behind this poem is recognizing how blatantly rude people are and they actually have the audacity to justify their actions

it's this heartless attitude of i don't care is certainly not cool and we need to stop enslaving ourselves with hatred
