BAD BEHAVIOUR


                           

 

There are times that I go silent

Silent, not because I know not what the response would be

It is just…

These hooligans have no respect for another human being

They act so innocent and pure

But they are rotten to the core

They are friendly in front of your face

but behind your back, they say the most obscure things

no common decency whatsoever

not even an ounce of remorse in these human beings

they pray on the weak-hearted

kill them with kindness

but not too much…

as they enjoy walking over people

good manners are frowned upon

curse words are part of their minute vocabulary

they smother their mistakes with praise

they do not like people who want to live righteously

they fit in with those who live haphazardly

the life I live is too boring for them

they take the easy way out in life

when their life goes into disarray

they are angry at those who wanted to help them along the way

ignorance is their downfall

listening is a skill not practice much

as hearing the truth, makes their blood boil

they toil with their lives by being reckless

no one cares about you

so now you want to be careless?

Stare the truth in the face

And stop being hostile to those with a good heart

Start living right so you can win an argument

                                                                          LIVE WELL AND DIE OLD
