Lines On A Transit Altercation Precipitated By General Inconsiderateness

Lines On A Transit Altercation Precipitated By General Inconsiderateness

I’m pained to say that I’m resigned
To knowing people can’t be kind
With all the anger and mistrust
I’m not surprised that folks combust
It’s true that life is hard and sad
And full of reasons to get mad
But what if we all showed more grace
and stayed out of each other’s space?

I’d love if we could all just please
Observe some basic niceties
Like maybe we could all refrain
From eating food while on the train
And let’s not, at the very least,
Compare a human to a beast
The little things, that’s all I ask
I guess that it’s a futile task

I sigh and know that people surely
will still treat each other poorly
The only way we can connect
Appears to be through disrespect
It’s difficult to not be tense
When every snub seems so immense
But so long as there are these slights
I’m kind of glad they tape the fights
