THE ONE WAY STREET
 

For all who like only to talk,
and never share their ear in return,
for those who think that only THEIR walk,
is the way living is learned.

For those who like at blame,
and never hear an opposite view,
and they think that THEIR game,
is the ONLY way to live a life through.

These people don't know how to treat,
anyone with respect or kindness,
for THE ONE WAY STREET,
and live with such blindness.

Life is a two way street,
that we all need to share,
to honor those who we meet,
to listen and to care.

So many know ONLY for ME,
and have no concern for other,
and their greedy eyes only see,
how they can USE all their brothers.

The one way street,
going through day by day,
I can assure you they will soon meet,
someone who won't hear what they say.

They only know one thing,
it is their way or none,
they don't fear the bees sting,
or the burn of the sun.

The one street comes to sudden end,
a dead end and a brick wall,
no more rules they can bend,
no one to hear their call.

We all know folks like this,
around us every day,
their one way street won't miss,
the wall WILL have its say!!
