CRITICS
Critics are dream haters,
Perpetrators, Un-educators that
Will do any and everything to
Point out all the things you
Do wrong-No understanding
At all of who you are and
All that you go thru-
They don’t understand anything;
They will never be you.
Like green water hoses
On the fire of your dreams,
Critics never can grasp the
Fact that life is never ever
What it seems to be-
Never saw light beyond
Tunnels of life’s adversity,
“Can’t do this, don’t do that!”
Is a phrase repeated constantly.
They see the faults of others,
Never looked in the mirror
To see their own reflection.
Maybe, things would be clearer
If they stopped being talkers
And learned to be hearers…
If they got all the facts
Before opening their mouths-
Messy situations would be cleaner.
Like a song on the radio
That you absolutely hate,
Critics have a way to create
A new kind of drama
That unfolds from the scenes-
Just a few harsh words crush
The tenderness of great dreams;
Encouragement is the opposite
Of being critical and mean.
To all my worst critics,
I honestly forgive you
For not understanding
Who I really am and
All the things I go thru-
Why not take the time
To help someone else
Without criticizing others?
Take a good look at yourself.
