I see it done daily, I don't understand
an attitude I see thoughout this land.
Verbal abuse is just downright mean
and physical abuse is to often seen.
I don't get it, nor do I understand why,
I just know that it makes me cry.

How hard is it to offer a simple smile,
to make someones day a bit more worthwhile?
To turn away anger and not to cause pain
or not to hurt others for personal gain?
Is it to much to offer a hand to the weak,
when a shred of kindness is all that they seek?

Maybe it's me, or just my own mind
but I CAN NOT understand people being unkind.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Donna, I know exactly what you mean.  I too wonder how some people just naturally appear mean and nasty, when it is so easy to be kind and thoughtful...and much more rewarding.
Good write.  Hugs.

If they realized how they looked i think they would change real fast. I guess they have a very unhappy life. Just be glad you know how to share a smile Donna..hugs

I’m with you there Donna. I don’t understand all the meanness and cruelty in this world.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Donna~

Too many people are just that way, it makes no sense....chilling write, done with your style....PEACE

Lauren~

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart
