I Tried To Be Nice

by LightSword

I tried to be a nice man, you just wouldn't even understand
Always felt I was held back by some invisible hand
Someone new in my face to kick some new sand
Can I spread some joy? What? It's not in demand?
Then I'll store more and more from the rest while I can
Ignorance is bliss? Maybe so for the wise
Bushels of truth left untouched, billions choking on lies
Why should I be the guy to shrivel up grow old and die
When I've arrived at life's design and come alive in light's third eye?
Peace be upon to all those who accept it
For they are the ones who truly respect it
But some minds are vile for an ego that lurks
And hate to the sky all good deeds and good works
For them there's no need for me to be nice
Left up to them I can't have a good life
So it's time to go, you get yours, I'll get mine
And maybe we won't cross paths next lifetime
When you get what you get, I won't care to blink twice
And it's not 'cause I'm mean, 'cause I tried to be nice

this is sad, it is almost angry, it is disappointment, i think the person in the poem is arguing with his/her own self, the need to be nice is natural, and easier than to be nasty....no?

    I would agree with you anna... it should be... the incident that provoked these emotions showed me that for others that is unfortunately not always the case and the necessity to steer clear of those types of individuals who don't feel the same way as we do...
