World of Words: Snapshot of life in this week’s poem
Life is a roller coaster
with it’s ups and it’s downs
It can bring lots of smiles
but also bring frowns
It’s true when they say
it’s all how you act
in different circumstances
and that is a fact
You should never judge a person
for the things that they do,
because you don’t know their story
or what they’re going through
People will do what people do,
because we’ve all led a different life
some people grew up happy
whilst others went through strife
Not everyone takes notice
of what’s going on in this place,
but you only have to look at
the expressions on peoples face
Some of us have never
been shown right from wrong
so who is to blame?
the list just goes on
But we shouldn’t keep choosing
to ignore the situation
because doing this will cause
it to continue through the generation
The community needs to start
to take some responsibility
for some of the things that go on
when we all have the ability
The ability to help someone
who may of gone off track,
even just to listen to them
to help them find a way back
Everyone has a right to be
themselves and not be judged,
as long as no harm is caused
who are you to begrudge?
We all need to notice things
that are happening today
but we all have a choice
in the role that we play
We need to look out for each other
and offer a helping hand,
to those who will take it
instead of just giving them a brand
Some people have no choice
but to live the way they are
because no one seems to help
them find out who they are
The homeless aren’t just needy
and their actually very nice
if you bother to speak to them
they only want advice
We can’t continue to ignore
the problems in our town,
so if you don’t want to help
you have no right to frown
So next time you walk past them
and choose to ignore the view
just remember one thing
One day that could be you
