The pettiness of people is
pervasive.
Those who feel better
when others fail.
Feeling contempt
and envy when others succeed.
Reflecting ugliness
behind their backs.
Makes them feel better,
superior
somehow.
People sniping
at those after leaving the room.
Talking ugly
of those behind their backs,
those who cannot
defend.
The world is rife
with such little people.
Those who manipulate
with words and deeds,
hoping
to bruise the gentleness
of others kindness.
Seeing ulterior
motives
where none can
be found.
Those who stomp
on the
hearts
of others if their sin
is wearing it on their sleeves.
The gotcha society
so reflected
in today’s headlines and the internet.
The world is crawling
with little people
looking to push
underwater
all those who cannot
navigate
the shark infested
waters of our world.
Take a look in the mirror…
not a giant to be found.
We are all little people,
not a Saint in the bunch.
Much work we all need do.
