Good People Poem by Kevin Patrick
Good People
You walk pass men who make their homes
On park benches and street corners
And look away without dismay
While giving them your coldest shoulder
You tell yourself their only addicts and junkies
They may as well be performing street monkeys
You pat yourself and stand
high on your moral steeple
Still you should know
Since your good people
You judge a girl who makes a choice
On how she should live her life
Condemn a right through foul spite
Just to see it driving back to jackknives
And worry more about what goes inside a womb
Then children starving and dying at life's tombs
Your righteousness
pours out like shallow treacle
still you should know
since your good people
There's minds who're scarred with tumored thoughts
And trapped crying in straight jackets
You simply scoff and brush them off
And call their pleads a whiners racket
Close the doors on those drowning in their pain
As if to you it's nothing more than just a stain
wash your hands away
of anyone you see as feeble
still you should know
since your good people
You are right Kevin. My life is my choice and someone else need not sit in judgment on me.
A very discerning and keen observation on people's behavior. Only people with a good heart and beautiful mind could come up with a poem like this. The wind of fate can change everything. We must not pass judgment on others, beware we might someday be on the same boat.
There are many people...good people who pass judgement on their fellowmen without really knowing the true situation of their lives. Not untli we are on their shoes, we can never truly feel and know why they are in their deplorable condition.

What a profound poem! Each stanza so very deeply moved me. Kevin, you have so brilliantly encapsulated the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of some people. Also, your poem has inspired me to do better. Thank You! em
