It Never Is My Business Poem by Francis Duggan

How others live it never is my business though some make it their business to know mine
Though to them I'm quite close to being a stranger with them I'm never out to wine and dine,
Live and let live I surely do believe in and judge not and thou shalt not be judged to it has a ring of truth
The righteous often can be so judgemental and they are bereft of the gift of ruth,
I never wish to have power over others though what little power I have some try to take from me
Though the majority I know are quite good people I talk of a tiny minority
Who feel they are superior to others that it's an okay thing to put one verbally down
Unfortunately in numbers they are growing in every village and city and town
For to inflate their inflatable egos they do find ways of putting others to the verbal sword
They even have a verbal crack at strangers with their own lives they have to be quite bored
Even on internet sites some who call themselves poets quite nasty disrespect to others feelings they do pay
Suppose some people cannot help the way that they are if about them they do have a nasty way
I cannot lay claim for to be a nice person what we see in others in our own selves we do see
That is a term that applies to many and one of many happens to be me.
