It's almost blatant,
The stupidity,
The ignorance,
The ****** ways to talk.

How could all of you be like this?
You hardly seem to care.
You talk of the terrible things that people do.
But some of these terrors come from you.

The thing is that you can't see the link.
You are unable to attain the higher thought.
Not because you are actually incapable,
But because you were never taught.

Never taught how to slow down, and listen.
How to hear everyone else.
To take some time to think critically,
And not to get so caught up.

Because you will find that when you do,
Get so caught up in your shallow little world.
That you surround yourself with people,
That act the same as you.

Is that what you want in life,
Is that what you vie for?
To say meaningless things?
I promise there is more.

Educate yourself,
In every way you can.
Learn from every experience,
From every old man.

Because in the end,
The people that win.
Are the people that try,
And don't give in.
