We Could Do Better

We delight

In finding mistakes

We point them out

We triumph over

We say that we

Would never do that

We pick apart books

We bash politicians

We judge musicians

We say they're stupid

For making the mistakes

We say surely

They could have done better

They could have worked harder

They could have given their all

And all the while

We forget

That we weren’t made to judge

Pointing out flaws

Just to triumph over them

Is empty in the end

We could do so much better than this

If only we cared enough to try

I could do better. So, so much better.
