? ? Why Do People Act Like That? ? Poem by Karen Degnan-foiles
? ? Why Do People Act Like That? ?
Why do people act so rude?
Is it about some unspoken rule?
By ranting and raising the roof.
When you mess up by a total goof.
Why do people act so supreme?
When at a point of low-esteem.
Looking down with an evil gleam.
You're wishing this is a bad dream.
Their tongues lash out like a quick whip.
You're thinking 'Mmmm, maybe I'll quit? '
Then you see your pockets are so light,
Reality sinks in and your thoughts ignite.
You scrape up the courage that's running light,
You say what you feel and hold on tight.
You might feel like you're the idiot in sight,
But at least you gave it a fair fight.
Why do people speak with their backs turned?
Don't they know it's kindness they lack?
They turn their heads sideways and show unconcern.
Oh, I'd like to give them a smack.
I take a step back and see thru their eyes.
And wonder is that what they think of me?
Will they succumb to their demise?
Am I as insensitive as can be?
I doubt that at all,
Because I will not fall,
To their level of awful.
With a black eye.
Our life book is filled with wonderful verses of how many lives we have touched in a positive way. Those who only serve themselves, their pages are filled with unsavory recipes.
Honorable Poet: This is a fantastic poem! People will act in a manner that they wish too. You can't control their actions but you can control yours. A well written poem. I invite you to read some of my works. Thanks.

People, people, sometimes we all can get in a weird state and do things we would never normally do. Hence be rude.
