judgement
Ya know that quiet boy
That gets bullied every day
Then you say you’re not at fault,
Because you had nothing to say
When a guy who’s got it made
Came up to make a joke
Demeaning someone’s worth
Trying his hardest to provoke
A feeling of superiority
to make himself feel tall
Not caring for a second
That he doesn’t know this kid at all
Those shoes y’all thought were ugly
Were the only pair he has
His mom’s at work right NOW
cause he’s got a sorry dad
So why you feel entitled is
way beyond my reach
You didn’t earn- not endowed-
you’re not some type of king
Here’s a thought; little lesson
How about keeping an open mind
ask a question- keep your mouth shut
And quit listening with your eyes
