Tell Me Why
tell me why its OK
tell me why you have the guts
to make fun of a kid
because of the way they dress
tell me why its just fine
to spend even a dime
of your parents money
when others have to work hard to support their siblings.
tell me why you have to fuss
over nothing
when some get beaten everyday,
and they don't even make a sound
tell me why its OK for you to do nothing but eat junk food
while others are lucky to eat at all.
have you gotten to know the person?
do you know that they might be obese,
because they have cancer.
they only cry,
because their mom just died
they don't wear the "latest" fashion,
because they actually have to have a job to help their family get by.
She is only pregnant
because she was raped,
but didn't want to end an innocent life.
next time take a look around and see the pain and suffering you might just be adding to
before you judge and belittle someone...
