The Person You Were Mean To Today

by Momma Roni
Were you mean to someone today?
Did you get impatient with the young lady at the cash register?
Maybe she was too slow for your ram, jam rude way of going?
So you decided the best way to handle her was to scream at her?
Did you stop to think before you screamed, that maybe, just maybe she just found out she has cancer?
Did you get impatient with the young man who was driving the speed limit?
Maybe he was too slow for your ram, jam rude way of going?
So you decided the best way to handle him was to curse at him, and give him the finger?
Did you stop to think before you cursed and gave him the finger, that maybe, just maybe he was simply obeying the law?
Did you get impatient with the older gentleman who shuffled a bit when trying to get out of your way?
Maybe he was too slow for your ram, jam rude way of going?
So you decided the best way to handle him was to shove him aside?
Did you stop to think before you shoved him aside, that maybe, just maybe a grenade hit when he was a young man slowed him down?
Did you get impatient with the elderly woman in a wheel chair?
Maybe she was too slow for your ram, jam rude way of going?
So you decided the best way to handle her was to slam the door in her face?
Did you stop to think before you slammed the door in her face, that maybe, just maybe, when she was a little girl a doctor in a Hitler lab removed some of her bone?
Did you get impatient with the middle aged gent at the gas station?
Maybe he was too slow for your ram, jam rude way of going?
So you decided the best way to handle him was to sue him?
Did you stop to think before you sued that maybe, just maybe he moved a little slow because he was tired after a long day volunteering at a children's hospital.
Were you mean to someone today?
Did you get impatient with someone today?
So you decided the best way to handle them was to sue, curse, slam, shove?
