The people that we don't expect to hurt,

We hurt them worst.

The people we'd like to hurt,

We keep quiet.

The people we don't expect hurting us,

Hurts us the most.

The people we think will hurt us most.

Treats us the best.

Things we want to avoid,

Comes to us.

Things we want to look forward,

Avoids us.

Words of appreciation we want to hear,

Are few.

Words of hurt and cursing,

We hear it all the time.

When we want something,

It's expensive.

When we don't want it anymore,

It's on sale.

You get what I'm saying here?

So how about this?

God's word and promise,

We don't follow and proclaim.

Things of the world?

We chase like there's no tomorrow.
