    Poem Commentary

    This was written for those who tend to criticize without knowing the heart of the person or for not even taking the time to find out what they are criticizing them for..I have seen so many people being criticized by others,usually Christians being the criticizers.This is not right.How would you feel if someone insulted you for your skin color or your new hairdo or the way you talk,etc.My older sister had a stroke & could no longer talk right ,so people would criticize her,making fun of her,asking if she was retarded.I had cancer when I was 18 & lost all my hair,I like people to like me for me,so I didn't wear a wig most of the time & an adult says to me that I look like a boy & I should be ashamed for walking around like that.Another lady laughed at me in a public place when I went to the rest room,she said you need to be in the boys restroom.I believe that before we criticize someone,we need to look deeper,walk a mile in their shoes.

    IT'S MY LIFE,HAVE YOU BEEN THERE

     IT'S MY LIFE,HAVE YOU BEEN THERE


    I may not have expensive clothes,
    Or pretty things for my hair.
    I may look sad and frown a lot,
    It's my life,have you been there.

    I may not speak with fancy words,
    Or fit in with the higher class.
    Dollar store clothes and unbleached hair
    It's my life,have you been there.

    I may live in a rundown home,
    Not have much to eat.
    Why point your finger,shake your head and stare,
    It's my life,have you been there.

    Do you know the real me,my heart
    Or do you even care.
    Why would you treat one so unfair,
    It's my life,have you been there.

    If you think something is wrong,
    Do you take it to the throne,
    Crying up to God for me in prayer,
    It's my life,have you been there.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
