Where does it come from
This belief people have
That we can put ourselves first
Ignore the small things
And destroy the big ones.
What happened to
Politeness and
Kindness
And manners
Holding a door
Putting the cart back
And helping the person whose things are scattered?
Who said it’s okay to
Ignore the greeting
Drop the relationship
And jump in with rude commentary on
A person we know nothing about?
Why would we want to
Respond in hate
Hurt the broken
Injure the innocent
And prove ourselves to be
So much less than who we claim to be?
