PAUSE AND THINK

If you see your neighbor at the edge
almost falling from the ledge
no matter the hate you may or they have for them
just pause and think

how much hate could you have for your mother
you told me you never loved your father 
no matter what, they gave you life and bore you 
just pause and think

I know he broke your heart, just forget 
despite all the love you gave, he still walked away you said 
try remember that we are all broken
just pause and think

after Mass, he pulled off his cassock 
the temptation is now heightened as he pulled his sock
almost given in to that negative thought
just pause and think

you look down on everyone in your vicinity 
don't you know wealth is divinity
because you are at the top, everyone is noisy and befuddling your serenity 
just pause and think

they sat down by the road beside a pole
and you walked by taking a stroll
ignoring their begging without giving them a dough
just pause and think

you heard her voice faintly calling for help inside an alley
although it was dark, you couldn't see clearly
you decided to ignore leaving the scene
just pause and think

he was arrested and framed for murder 
you know he's innocent and you acted unbother
even if the victim was your daughter 
just pause and think

your neighbor had nothing to eat
you had too much and threw the leftover in the bin
staring at their children as they wince in pain
just pause and think
