People Like You Just Don'T Get It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People like you,
Just don't get it.

'Get what? '

Don't worry about it
If you had it you would know.
And...
Maybe you are right.

You once said,
The homeless and hungry...
Was a situation for those,
Who chose to be so.

You once said,
'There are jobs out there.
Those folks just don't want to work.
When 'I' was in that situation...
I walked down the road,
To ask my neighbor if I could pitch some hay...
To buy groceries and pay my 'mortgage'.
And my father and his father did the same thing.
Today...
People think they deserve more than that.'

People like you,
Just don't get it.

'Get what? '

Don't worry about it.
If you had it you would know.
And...
Maybe you are right.
Some people just bit off more than they could chew.
And if they had good credit like you...
None of them would be in the same predicament.

People like you,
Just don't get it.

'Get what? '

Don't worry about it.
What you don't know is intended.
