Ungrateful People Poem by Randy McClave

I am so very tired of being a good person
To those who lie, cheat, break promises or are cursin',
I don't care what anyone will say
For them for their wrong doing, I will just pray.
I am a good person and I am going broke
That is not a lie or even a joke,
When people borrow from me promising to pay me back
But, they keep that promise in a sack.
They use that borrowed money for different uses
And they always come up with pathetic excuses,
They'll pay me back with they get their return
But, to pay me back they have no desire or yearn.
They will tell me that I'm their most trusted friend
Then more money from me they'll ask me to send,
Then if or when I send them that cash
They then will disappear like a flash.
They will ask to come over just to visit me
But, only if I'll feed them or give them some tea,
But, if I tell them that I have neither
They then decide not to come over either.
I will give the blisters on my hand and the sweat off my brow
I will give them what I can and what God will allow,
God knows that I will try and do my very best
On all my journeys or quest.
Sometimes I feel like one of their banks
Where borrowers beg and borrow and they give their thanks,
And when it's time to pay back their loan
They snicker and then they runaway and hide and moan.
I am now so very sick and tired to help anyone
Also I am so tired of being used like a pawn,
I hate to sound this hateful
I am just so sick and tired of people who are ungrateful.
