WHY DON'T WE JUST...

REBELLIOUS SOUL

Why do we judge so fast 

When we have our flaws— 

The ones we try to hide? 

 

Why do we hate so easily 

When we could love just as quickly?

Why is it always "hate fast and judge fast" 

When it could be "love hard and judge less"?

 

Isn't it strange how we spot the mess in others 

But never try to fix our own? 

 

Why don't we just look into ourselves— 

And see the thousand impurities inside us? 

Why not try to fix even one of them? 

 

Then maybe the world would start to hurt a little less. 

Maybe it would judge less. 

Or at least— 

It would be A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN.

    It seems as if even if I try to be at peace, there is someone else ready to create war.

    If I decide to perfect myself… what good is it if my environment wants to see me destroyed

          i read this saying that even if society is doing all wrong to you then at least make sure you don't do it to others
          i mean change has to start from somewhere and from someone

            Good questions asked in this poem. The answers are probably things that we would rather not face. Well written

          • Poetic Licence

            A poignant write asking what should be simple questions to answer but are not, to answer them we would all have to brutally honest with ourselves and others in the hope that change can occur, before it's past repairing, nicely expressed and written
