Why on earth do we put each other down
Why do we shame
And tell each other nasty things
Like you know nothing

The better question is
Why on earth do we not bring each other up
Why do we not give kind words
Or celebrate anothers victory

Ugly,fat,pathetic,weak
Skinny,short,tall,stupid
These are the words we speak
These are the words that show hate

Beautiful,classy,good job
You can make it,I know you can
That’s what we should be saying
That’s what we hold back on far too much

If only we knew what happened
What happened to that person after those words
Did it actually help,like we tried to do
Or did we only hurt them further

Yes it’s ok to joke
And yes it’s ok to make jokes
But a joke is only funny
When someone else is laughing

Why on earth do we do this to ourselves
Leading our race into the pit
And only letting a select few up the ladder
Not realising we are getting nowhere

So bring up someone
And before you tell a joke
Make sure you know them well
And think before you speak
