Being Spontaneous.
#1
Why do you want to be normal everyday?
Why can’t you just stop for a moment and greet the stranger saying “Hey!”
Smiling at someone is not a bad thing,
You have no idea how much happiness it would bring,
Why don’t you want to appreciate someone for their work?
Trust me, if instead you condemn then you’re a jerk,
Why do you always want to look at something from your point of view?
Not considering others effort and hard work doesn’t make yours true,
Why do you want to give someone false hope and appreciation?
I know you want to save your ass and that gives you the temptation.

Why do you always look for flaws?
Pointing out something wrong won’t earn you applause,
Why do you think you are the only smart person on earth?
You didn’t drop from the sky, you were given birth
Why do you always think about the past?
Go out and explore, this world is vast
Why don’t you jump with joy when you see a rainbow?
That’s a pretty cool scientific phenomenon yo,
Why do you think you are ordinary?
If you stop thinking like that, trust me, you’ll be extraordinary.

Why don’t you arouse in the other person an eager want?
Maybe you’re too busy in finding mistakes along with a taunt
Why don’t you remember that a person’s name to that person is the sweetest and most important sound in any language?
No matter how old the person gets, that sound is never forgotten with the age
Why can’t you be a good listener?
What? Did I hear “You’re too busy”, you aren’t a practitioner
Why don’t you encourage others to talk about them (selves)?
Give them a chance to talk and you’ll be surprised at the energy that ‘erupts’ out of them
Why can’t you make the other person feel important?
The other person who could have outperformed, you have surely made him dormant

To be continued…

hi kanwar

just in case you're not sure; (you said you wrote for fun) we have a for fun section where people can post without getting critique or constructive feedback Wink if you'd like it moving there, let someone know and it can be done.

Trust me, if instead you condemn then you’re a jerk, this feels kind of suspect. would we appreciate someone for their work if it were bad or cruel? why aren't we appreciating them for who they are instead of what they do?

Why do you want to give someone false hope and appreciation? this and the line above feel like they conflict with each other

not sure the continued helps kanwar, i got a feeling the the person in the poem was as bad if not worse than the person he was talking to. a sort of double standard. it did have an energy about it, it had an underlying anger as though the first person were a victim of sorts, perhaps bullying.
i'm not sure the title works well enough. as the speaker is more or less saying...stop being spontaneous and think before you act.

thanks for the read.
