Practice what you Preach

Why do you have a heart of stone
smirks and glares where words are thrown
why can’t you understand
when someone needs help;
why do you always give the backhand
you and I we aren’t the same
not even close, so who’s to blame
for the way things work out
why can’t you just be caring
and instead rather shut it out
I want to be there for my friend
but there you go again
drawing conclusions, getting mad;
over something you can’t control
just breathe;
and look deep in your soul... you have one right?
why don’t you get off your high horse
and replace your pride with a little remorse
put yourself in her shoes;
wouldn’t you want someone to be there for you
making you feel like you could win over lose
but of course, I forgot, you need help from no-one
your soul is a bottomless pit – does not exist –
you’re so cold, self centered, and so close minded
yet you say you follow the Lord
well tell me mother, as you are a follower
what would Jesus do?
Now take a moment to think that through
or start believing in something new
stop being so opinionated
no one is perfect, no matter how much you think you are
you’re wasting your time with all this “hatred”
I hope you have a change-in-heart
and see my side of things, for a start
sometimes you just have to do it
even when it’s hard
it’s called sacrifice, mother, one thing I’ve learned.
