#crabmentality poems on Hello Poetry

Jean Nov 2018

On top, crawling up.
Higher, as high they go.
Trying to escape the bucket they're at.
Piling up, climbing some more.

Pulling down, low like us.
You've no right to be higher than us.
Let's wait and see, die all at once.
Let's sit tight instead of being free.

Society's crab mentality. Jealousy and envy is the norm in some culture.

Crab Mentality

Watching, waiting
Not for success, but to your downfall
They're all listening
So they know when to break your wall

Friend or foe, they will come to you
You will never know who is who
They will smile, shake your hand
Even hug you like you're grand

But you would not know
Like a crab, they will pull you down
Or climb with you
Then get pass through you

The cheers are nothing but a show for you
The shaking of the hands will only betray you
The smiles will slowly poison you
The hugs will slowly **** you

Beware is nothing but a word
Jealousy, Envy
Somehow, that is how life works

Random. Tell me if life is fair.

Crab mentality

Hi Sir,

You're reeking with hate
Don't dive into that fate
Free yourself from rage

We are all here to write
We are all here to express
Oh please don't start a fight
Because we're all here to just express

So what if their poems always trend?
Is it an enough reason for your anger to vent?
Why wouldn't you just feel happy for them?
After all, we should co-exist 'cause we're all poets

Yes, we are poets, not *****
Don't go pulling others down
That's just not the way to the top

Yeah, I might get into trouble for this. But, let's live in peace. This is the only place where others can escape to. Peace please. Just sayin'.
