You Will One Day Stand Naked

I wonder sometimes where the respect has gone in our society, if it was ever here to begin with.  This class system we live in gives some a certain arrogant level of entitlement especially in New York.  You don't know me, I haven't given my shoes for you to walk in.  Some days I just loss faith in people.  I see the good, the bad and the ugly and let me tell you Manhattan has more ugly sometimes.  I sometimes wonder who people think they are and how shitty they must sleep at night.  Its like we don't even work together anymore, its like we are all for ourselves.  What a life I tell you.  Its like a see people yelling at each other on the streets and I was treated like complete shit today and I just wonder what the point of it all is.  Does it really make you feel better?  Does it make things easier being a complete dick?  Being so mad that you carry it on your shoulder as a constant reminder of your own pain, a pain no one feels but you.  Being so arrogant to others feelings that you never truly feel understood.  I wonder sometimes where the respect has gone.  Fellow friend and people I brush by, peoples faces you encounter that you'll never truly meet and never truly know when its all said and done whats the point of not being kindhearted. 

I'm not trying to get all peacemaker tree hugger on your ass but I mean honestly look around you.  I wonder where the respect has gone.  I see on a rare occasion the man who opens the door for someone else or the person that helps a little old lady cross the street.  Imagine what a world we would live in if everyday we got out of our ego and helped someone without expecting something in return.  How beautiful this world would be if we didn't get worked up over stupid shit, if we had more patience with others and if everyday we practiced kindness from a genuine source.  Its true that what goes around comes around, wouldn't it be beautiful to see what you would get in return.   

I get so tired of seeing the ugly around me, I want everyone to be beautiful.  To feel what its like to sleep knowing that you practice kindness.  When you strip away money, clothes and jewelry you will one day stand naked.  Exposed.  You will be nothing more then whom you say you are and nothing more then the way you treated others.  The lack of the materialistic will shed a naked soul.  A soul that people can read because the distractions will be gone.  What will you have?  Your experiences, the people that touched your life but always keep in mind what others would say.  When naked, what will they remember?  What has been imprinted from you to their memory?  For however brief or long, what would they say verse what you would want them to say?  

You touch lives in every way for however brief and one day you will stand naked lets hope its not written in tattoos how rotten you might have been...
