Don’t look at me like some piece of meat
Acting all high and mighty
Maybe in this room
You feel like you’re better than everybody

But outside these walls
You are just the same
As those you scorn and shame.

I didn’t know it was part of your religious philosophy
To be righteous and pious
Judgmental to those who dare to think differently
Or God forbid be exactly who they were intended to be.
Don’t make your own kind the enemy.

We all have a purpose.
A river was made to be river,
don't ask it to be rock,
a bird,
or a tree.

You will see
How your personality won’t get you very far
The sooner you realize this
The better off you will be.

Unfortunately,
You’re set in your ways
And it would take more than just my words
to convince you to change they way you behave.

I try to believe that it's never too late to improve ourselves,
take a step in a new direction for a better change,
but some people refuse to move,
they remain the same.

As my mother would say:
The mean people don’t change,
As they age,
Their “Type A” will only accentuate.

I see this to be true,
and all I can say is,

Great...
