The Way I See It Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Education is of no use to fools
People seldom learn from their mistakes
Most people seldom use their minds
Most to their detriment think with their hearts
Most take emotional decisions
Most are easily deceived because they
detest the voice of reason
The way I see it most people need help.

Most people have caused their own problems
Most people have created their own obstacles
Most people have prophesied their
own downfall through careless utterances
Most people are their own enemies
The way I see it most people need help.

Most have entangled themselves in their own lies
Most have dug their own graves
Most have been destroyed by bitterness
Most are carrying heavy grudges
They will not humble themselves
They are harshly humbled
They will not let go of their foolish pride
The way I see it most people need help.

Most people have shunned salvation
They have instead chosen condemnation
They can't distinguish right from wrong
They can't distinguish between light and darkness
They think they see but they walk in darkness
They think they are wise but they are foolish
The way I see it most people need help.
