Realizations.
If you ever get the chance to reflect on your life,
And see your great job, car and wife,
You might think it is very easy for all to make it big
But everyone has a different size hole to dig
You may have had some struggles here and there
And your fair share of burdens for you to bear.
There have been obstacles that you have overcome
And possibly were not able to surpass some.
We have all witnessed our share of misfortune in our lives
And seen people who strayed too far away from their hive
Often times we criticize these people for the situation they are in
we assume they have brought it on themselves through stupidity or sin
We seldom consider the fact that they aren’t to blame
That they can’t get a life with success and fame
This world we live in is an very unforgiving place.
It is focused on religion possessions and race.
Each person’s advantages in life are not as helpful as yours
They haven’t stumbled across as many open doors
They have worked for the little that they own
and that is rarely ever shown
So it is easy to be judgmental and think without much forethought
but it is not what I as a small boy was taught.
I was told by my father that i shouldn’t ever judge any soul
That their advantages in life are not always like mine
Like i said we all have to dig our own large hole
and everyone else’s life was not as easy and divine
don’t spend your time here being hateful and mean
