Simple Words

When someone talks about us and we hear about it
It hurts our feelings and we react by saying we don't care what others think
And yet we try every remedy to not be or do what they said about us and at the same time say we don't care

WE do care what others say or think or feel when we are being judged by them
it is true that those who talk about others are the least happy within themselves
yet those very unhappy people can really make us mad too

They want to poke and prod at life
So that others will feel as poked and prodded as they already are
They didn't come up with misery loves company out of nowhere

Yet we remain susceptible to them
Until we can call them on their actions
And let them know that the ill intentions that they carry for others
Is just plain unkind

Yes, use the word unkind
Rude will make them defensive
Talking about them makes you them
And saying they are unkind is so true it will bring them to light
With no hiding place

The simplest words can carry the most weight
When you tell someone they are unkind
It is objective
You are not saying only that your manner hurt others
You are saying to them, it must be something in you that is causing you to want to take away from others

We all know someone who enjoys sticking their greasy tongs were they don't belong
And we all have the grease cleaning soaps
And it is time to use that soap in a cleansing for all of us
You see, when you can tell another person
"that was unkind"
You show your strength by not approaching with the anger that was expected and wanted
You can turn the situation slowly to see itself for what it is

Try it sometime, it will surprise the soul with the eyes that can not see
Just because it is something they haven't heard before and something that is to true to ignore

Life offers us a way out of anything
And those ways come with the simplest soulutions
Step life back a few paces and let it show all of us what it can be

The only way we can see the wall
Is to walk back far enough to know that we hit the wall
And then we can walk around it
