People will hurt you because they can,
To increase their status or self respect,
By cold crushing blows which will favor their plans,
Or worse, unaware and through selfish neglect.
Yet, you must resist them because you can,
Ignore all their quick-cutting stabs jabs and twists,
To lighten, despite them, your burdens and stand,
Dispelling their hellishness with happiness.
Written by: Larry Sansone. In order to hone my writing skills (and for my own silly amusement) I am launching the O.C.P. Project: one poem per day for one year. I started the project on Jan.1, 2011 and completed the last poem on Jan. 1, 2012. Poems will be posted daily, whenever possible.
