What do people see

What do people see
when they look at me?
Do they see what I've become?
Are they judging me because of some
of the things I've done? Do they see
the many sides of my personalities?
Do they see my specialities?
The problem with them is they
don't think about what they say,
and how it affects others, like me
They don't care. After all why should they?
Their greedy, self-centered, and I must say
their like the stereo-typical jock, they just don't think
before they react or respond.  They take things for granted
and why shouldn't they? When they bitch and whine,
like a spoiled little kid. They think it's fine,
almost like it's their divine right,
to get what they want. If you wanted to know, the right
question to ask would be; what do I see
when I look in the mirror?
I see a pebble
a diamond in the rough
if I could put aside my tough
side, if I put aside my act and
started truly being my self I'd
see a sensitive, more caring side.
Can't they even see that side of me?

Controlling Crowds

Its that time of year again
Where push comes to shove
And there’s sale after sale
There’s a thanksgiving sale
And even black Friday
People crowd the malls
And stores trying desperately
To get the perfect gift for there loved ones
For Christmas it never ends
Honestly people these days
Have gotten so lazy and procrastinate
Putting it off till the very end
Then there’s the after Christmas sale
For those who didn’t get presents for Christmas
A sale for the truly lazy people
Or even the smart ones who buy a year ahead
Instead of days before

Sugar

It may be futile to discuss this
Perhaps even irrelevant
But may I ask you for a cup of sugar
The powdery substance
That looks like flour
Or perhaps ground corn
That gets fed to cows.
That crystalline substance
That looks like salt
It’s the perfect thing
It sweetens foods
It makes the world go round
Giving sugar highs
Making little kids sleepy
Causing cavities
Making dentists happy
It even gives people diabetes
How can it not be good?
