Expectations

Some people make me mad

Or maybe Its me that aggravates me.

Either way, I don’t like it.

 

People are just so unreliable

They don’t tell the truth

They assume they know everything

And the worst ones act untouchable

 

But somedays I change my point of view

Maybe I’m the problem.

Maybe I set the bar too high for mankind

And every time they disappoint me, it’s my fault

Because they will never meet my expectations

 

I don’t quite know which i prefer

Both make me sick to my stomach

Because no matter how you look at it

 

Man is just sad.

Yes, Sad

This is a mellow rant poem. A you do not meet my expectations poem. The fault is ours. We invented radio, then tv, then video games and lost a generation or two. Learning is not a priority and should be. Ignorance is just that, dumbing down of the mind of humans. So much potential, but we invest in wars, not research to wipe E-bola from the face of the earth, or AIDS - If they have not cured cancer by now, maybe that money can be redirected to cleaning up the cancer causing chemicals in the earth sea atmosphere. Sad. ~ Just Bein Lady A
