Complain

It seems no matter how good we have it, we still find ways to complain. This is just a simple saying to provoke thought on this matter.

Some people complain about a paper cut
Some complain of a stubbed toe.
Some people have been stabbed in the gut
Some have never been so low.
Others envy what they don’t have
They think it is greener.
Still others have nothing
And life could be no meaner.
Some want all the attention
They think they deserve it.
Some barely raise their head
For they have been through it.
Some complain of the weather
And how it is not fitting.
Some have no clothes
And their home is where they’re sitting
Some complain of what they eat
While their stomachs fill to end
Others scrape the garbage bin
Or whatever they can fend
So unless you’ve been through it
Unless you’ve lost It all
Thank God for what you do have
Before you too shall fall.
