Speaking to someone in passing Saying, hello They seem to just look over you Like you aren't there Asking a question The silence creeps in No one replies Hello, is anyone there? Being seen and heard Not much to ask Doesn't cost anything No credit card or cash Perhaps it's lazy lips No need to part your mouth In an effort, to be civil or kind Just keep your head down looking south Are you that self-centered Too busy to speak How does it feel when it happens to you You are not so unique Get out of your head Come back down to earth Live in the real world Not in a fictional place instead Too much of a burden to exchange a greeting? To smile or wave to someone in passing Just a simple gesture between people Try it, it is not so fleeting --O'Nika McGill--

Its like that at my job everyone asks like their millionaires walking around and I m the help all I said was hello or good morning lol lol Good topic Onika
Louis, thank you for sharing! I see this often and I don’t understand why people act this way.
That’s just how it is these days. I must say though, it’s really sad. The more pleasant we can be, maybe crime wouldn’t be as it is today.
I know things are not as they once were, unfortunately. I just think it doesn’t hurt to say hello, wave, or smile to people. Thank you, Sandy!
Absolutely!
So well pointed out O’Nika.
Thank you Sadje! I think sometimes people get caught up in certain things without realizing it.
Yes, they do.
