My mind is troubled by this thought:
How is it we are oft distraught
About impressions that we make
On others? Are our lives at stake?
Of course, we try and do our best
But life is not a gruelling test
There is no ‘norm’ that fits all cases
Why put mud on others’ faces?
Politicians are the worst
Attacking rivals to come first;
The public, fickle, tows their line
With judgements - right or wrong – on line!
The human ego, frail, is bruised
No politician wants to lose
But reputations are destroyed
And truth is rendered null and void.
With age, we hope some wisdom comes
We know our worth, stick to our guns!
What others think, is their affair
Words cannot bite – why should we care?
