Don't Laugh At Them

Don't Laugh At Them

Don't laugh at those who have less

You think you know better, but you don't know best

Who truly knows where their life had lead

Before you laugh at anyone, search the common sense in your head

Now tell me, if you were in their place

Would you like people laughing in your face

Remember, there are those with less and those with more

You learn to respect the rich, do the same for the poor

I've heard it told, when you get to Heaven's Gate

You will experience others pain, and all those who appreciate

Those you treated poorly, you will feel it all

You will feel how they felt, when you laughed at them in the Hall

Because your spirit needs to grow, and you didn't do it here

You'll have to guide your victim, by whispering in their ear

You'll need their forgiveness, to set things straight

So your soul can ascend, to its rightful state

Remember, before you laugh at anyone, you've not been in their shoes

You don't know their story, be compassionate when you choose

All actions you take, will come back to you

Use the love God gave, you'll know the right thing to do

When you laugh at those with less, you are not seeing the whole

picture. You are not realizing that it could have been you in

their place. Being unkind to those with less, also makes you

look really bad to others as well. You don't know their life's

story, nor do you know the struggles they faced along their

journey to where they are now. Use compassion and be kind.

You will feel it in your heart and soul, because that is the better

choice to make. You will feel much better inside as well.
