Holier Than Thou

Written sometime between 1990-1993

 

You think that you are so cool

Believing you are nothing below the best

Looking down upon others with ridicule

Trying to prove your better than the rest

 

Acting and dressing in a trendy way

Wearing fancy clothes, driving expensive cars

Buying things no matter how much you pay

Thinking you belong up with the stars

 

But you never had a true friendship

Surrounded by others acting like you

You thought you were at the social tip

To you, this was never anything new

 

Ignoring people because of how they look

Avoiding people because of how they act

If ugly, never a second glance you took

You kept away from originality in fact

 

Never veering off the path of old

Ostracizing people different than you

just looking at those fitting your mold

Holier that thou…you thought it to be true

 

You never did learn what was the truth

Never judge a book by its cover

It;’s what’s inside, we’ve learned since youth

Though in your mind, this idea never did hover

 

But soon you will learn the facts

People like you are only putting on acts.
