I remember a friend telling me..

I remember very well a friend telling me or implying through the lyrics of a song that was on the radio.. He said, "hey Mike, here is your song.."..

Listen below... This is the song.. I assume he told me this because I was very reliant back then on my parents and I'll admit we as a family had not suffered financially in a long time. I'll admit, yes we as a family were tight knit unit and if one bird was having trouble flapping his wings we'd make sure that bird would not fall to the ground.



I remember hearing the song thinking.. Wow, maybe he has a point and feeling man I deserve that. However, damn I was a kid back then just living my life without really too many friends and not really enjoying things other kids my age did. Honestly, I did not really have much but I guess people can sometimes misjudge a situation and think they have everything. Well, honestly, I think enduring the long illnesses of my parents is enough to really turn my outlook on life bitter. Even with positives, I still view things bitterly due to those events. However, at times I see them as positives because those events let me see through the money element of life and with people who even write songs like that and even people who have that attitude toward people.. In reality there are greedy people and then there is just you middle class family.. We were trying to be happy in life as a family that is all.. I don't think we were trying to one up everyone but I assume people around us felt that. I understand that artist can write a song but that doesn't mean their art is perfect. The flaw is his judgment toward others without having full facts.. Sometimes in life not everything appears king like.. Underneath the surface he so badly didn't not want to penetrate he only sees the fat rich boy. It seems the "fat boy" though is himself because he fails to see tomorrow too.. He worries about desiring what others have. Maybe happiness is the only desire.. Maybe love.. Maybe those things the judge lacked... So he paints a ugly picture for all around him..
