The Bitterness of People
What I never grasp
In my big head
Is why people are bitter
Bitter like an apricot?
Or like a peppernut cookie?
Is that what they are like?
Also, why be like that?
An unsweetened fruit?
Are their wants and wishes unsweetened?
Or were their sweet demeanors tossed?
Leaving the unsweetened and bitterness
For good people to suffer
And I think what a waste!
For the bitterness of people
Can waste the sweetness of life
So I sit on this hard wood bench
And hope for the sweetness of kindness
To never be stolen from my heart
By the ghost of bitter feelings past
