~Reality Check~

Contributed by shelby on Monday, 5th March 2012 @ 01:11:46 AM in AEST
Topic: Grief



Standing in the grocery store waiting in a long line.
I hear the women talking, complaining over time.
It takes a good deal now for me to shut my mouth
after listening to such crap, I cannot believe what they are talking about.

Oh its such a tragedy, the car dealer didnt get it right.
Her 50 thousand dollar car didnt come with the right lights.
***** ***** ***** is all I heard until I was sick to death
that chick needs a super large reality check.

Then another group standing in the isle,
whinning and complaining because they have a job.
Oh it is so terrible that you are all among the few
that after the recession hit our cities in 2008
you still have a job to take your sorry asses too!

Complain about their husbands, nothing nice to say about their kids.
Nothing is ever good enough in the world of stupid heads.
A rock flew up and chipped a window, their coffee wasnt hot enough
I am getting so very tired of it, really get a reality check!

Reality....... thousands here have lost their jobs, it takes months to get unemployment.
People have lost their homes and cars..... cannot even get an apartment.

Reality........ on every single corner now there are people out holding signs.
Standing in the pouring rain, begging for a dime.

Reality........ for those of you who complain about your men
talk to the widow I did the other day....... who would give anything in this world
to have him here today!

Reality........ oh you have it terrible with all those precious kids
say nothing good about them....... ask her over there, how it feels now her child is dead!

Complain about your fancy homes and how they arent up to your standards.

Reality........ go sleep out by the 205 overpass in the cold and rain!!

Complain about how your shoes hurt your feet

Reality....... walk several miles with your shoes duct taped together! I saw it with my own eyes.

Get off your soap dishes........ be thankful for what you do have or please just shut up and go away
I cannot listen to it anymore! Get a reality check!



Open your eyes, open your hearts, stop complaining and go spend a couple weeks on the streets
talk to the people you snub, learn a life lesson please!
