My First Blog Post

I found this little rhyme while reading an article on self-esteem, and I instantly thought of Zecora.

If Someone Has Hurt You,
Why Wasn't It Right?

name calling and labeling
and put-downs and like --
resentfulness feelings
like vengeance and spite --
are hurtful and painful
and simply not right
to do to another,
no matter what cause --
its bad to be hurtful
there should be some laws.

When people are careless
or callous or crude,
or on purpose hurtful
or ugly and rude,
they mess with spirit,
they twist one's insides
they erase one's good feelings,
self-esteem and their pride.

Some things are like horses,
some things are like carts.
Some things are like both
and in life it's an art
to care for one's self
in a practical way
and to try to avoid things
that just aren't okay.

It's tough to quit habits --
its scary to change --
but, if you don't do it,
its all just the same.
If someone has hurt you
you really can't gripe
if you do it yourself --
why wasn't it right?
