you're not what we're lookin for!

I woke up just the other day
Everything I once knew and loved
Was suddenly taken away
So I went to see someone
Who could open the door
He screamed back you're not what we're lookin for

So follow your footsteps
Right back out that door
Everythings not the same
I think the world is going insane
I'm so sick and tired of what I see
I feel like the whole world is blaming me

Not a word is spoken when he slams the door
I told you you're not what we're lookin for
Look around can you all see the mess
Can we all do with out can we live with less
I don't care what you say anymore
Are you deaf! you're not what we're lookin for

You don't know how tough life can be
I need some money can you help me today
My life is missing its been stripped away
When I'm back on my feet I'll repay you and more
So shut your mouth and don't be sore
I almost forgot you're not what we're lookin for

I drove around lookin for a friendly face
Theres got to be someone left from the human race
I drove on up to the packy store
A man started banging on the side of my door
Back right up this is not your store
Your still not what we're lookin for

I don't know if this is all a dream
Or my nightmare waiting for the very next scene
In a world so bitter and full of hate
Is this all we have is this our fate
I'm feeling a little tired weak and sore
Theres that voice you're not what we're lookin for

I've finally reached the end of this day
They say I'm worthless don't waste there time
They wont listen or hear anything I say
Is it too much to ask I'm not commiting a crime
I think I'll push the button and start a war
Maybe then I'll be the person there lookin for!!!

Nice poem,we all have to learn to,'live & let live'.A little kindness as much as the flame of a little candle can shed light through even a crevice in the darkest dungeon of the hardest heart.So start your war of kindness. bouquet bouquet
