It Makes Me Crazy 1



When you mindlessly quote scripture as "the reason"
It makes me crazy.
When you are abused and endure without complaint
It makes me crazy.
When you demonstrate impudence and insolence
It makes me crazy.
When you kill others with your suicide bombing
It makes me crazy.
When you hurt a child or defenseless animal
It makes me crazy.
When you belittle honest attempts of others
It makes me crazy.
When you curse your luck ignoring self-improvement
It makes me crazy.
When you will not work but choose to live on welfare
It makes me crazy.
When you sneeze right out with no attempt to cover
It makes me crazy.
When you report news of savage and cruel events
It makes me crazy.
