The Trouble with People

The trouble with people is that they don't realize

That beauty and perfection lies in their eyes

And their heads get so big

And their minds get so little

Soon all they care about are things that are trivial

And when they begin to ponder more marvelous things

They think themselves as high as kings

And their heads get so big

And their minds get so tiny

All that leaves their mouth is irrelevant and whiny

The trouble with some folks is that they just talk

Endlessly, mindlessly, they stare and they gawk

And their heads get so big

And their minds get so small

That sometimes I fear they know nothing at all

So let this be a lesson before you go out

Think before you speak, and know what you care about

And keep your head small

And your mind spacious

And always be humble, for humble is gracious
