people point the finger to often

at someone else making mistakes

-they're human too you know,

cut them a break-

someone else who's tried their best

to make something good out of themselves

even though they may have messed up

at one point or another

you think you're so much better

than them, than others because

you're 'educated' and 'would never

do things like that' but you tend

to forget that you're human too,

just like them you bruise and bleed,

cry and scream, make mistakes

and i was going to say 'learn from them'

but i don't think you do.

see the finger that you're so shamlessly

pointing at others should be broken,

snapped back against your hand until

you learn your lesson. did your mother

not teach you that it's wrong to point

and stare at others just because they

made a mistake or because they look

different then you do? should i point

a finger in your face, jab it into your

chest and write your sins out on the sands

of the sea? maybe i should hold a mirror

in front of you so you can point your

finger at yourself for once and realize

that you mess up and screw up time

and time again but we give you a

second chance. so take a break from being

a judgmental brat and sit back and think,

'have i done things that people could point

a finger at?' and if you don't come to the

realization that you're just like them,

maybe you should just keep your mouth shut

because nothing but crap is coming out of it.

so here, look in the mirror, look at your

judgemental self glaring into your own

conscious and tell me that you're better

than them. go ahead. i'm waiting.

i hope you crumple to the ground,

ashamed and defeated as you realize,

your just as wrong as the mistakes

they made in the past only you're not

over yours yet. maybe you'll learn

from them, maybe you won't, but i

hope you hesititate next time before

you so easily point the finger

at someone you don't

even know
