Some Heavy Stuff Man

i can understand
why people don't enjoy my company
i tend to put weight on everything
value on most events and moments
high standards for people
and it's true
i ask a lot sometimes from people
but what i'm asking for is not unreasonable by any means.
decency
i cannot emphasize this word enough.
decency is easy
hold the door open
say thank you
smile every once in a while
shake hands
be sincere
ask about their lives
give change to the street folk
if you don't have change, give the guy a cigarette
or a pack of matches
or a goddamn acknowledgement
decency
its that easy
all i ask from people
is kindness
and i sit here in awe
because i can count the good people i know
on 3 fingers
we're losing the race here folks
time to catch up.
