One May Excuse Them

One may excuse them for their rude behavior the nasty people we meet every day
Though it seems they do enjoy hurting feelings as they never do regret the hurtful words they say
The people who are lacking in compassion they do live as strangers to empathy
Perhaps they did know of abuse in their young years from parents or guardians who for them never did show sympathy
For everything it is said there is a reason though rude people the World could do without
Though sad to say they are not an endangered species there are plenty of them everywhere about
But we have the choice on how we do treat others and though all sorts of excuses for bad behavior can be made
The mental hurt with the offended seems to linger and from the memory does not easily fade
Since they find pleasure in putting down of others they must be suffering of low self esteem
Their dislike of self they do take out on others in their behavior that's how they do seem
Than frowned upon they deserve more to be pitied due to their dislike of self they do put others down
And sad to say their numbers are increasing they live on every street in every town
One may excuse them for their nastiness and rudeness excuses never are that hard to find
But they've made their choice to live as nasty people they do not have it in them to be kind.
