Jealous people will never change



Why do you put others down,
Because things don't go your way?

You say that he looks weak,
And he doesn't know how to play.

Thousands of people were watching,
Just waiting for him to make a mistake.

Sweat came sliding down his face,
As the ball flew over the plate.

He swung with all his might,
As he felt the touch of the ball.

The ball flew high in the sky,
And it went over the wall.

The crowd went crazy,
As he trotted to second base.

They were calling his name,
A smile came on his face.

He never said a word,
He just waved his hand.

And ran to the dugout,
Knowing that he has just,
pleased his fans.

It's not good to put down others,
If you never had play the game.

How would you feel being teased?
Jealous people will never change.
