When Was The Last Time?

When was the last time you looked around
The last time you noticed someone besides you?
When was the last time you gave just to give
The last time you spoke words that were true?

When was the last time you looked at a poor man
And saw something besides the lack of money?
When was the last time you laughed at something
Because it was actually funny?

When was the last time you were real
The last time you could say that you weren�t fake?
When was the last time you did something unselfish
When was the last time you cried for some else�s  sake?

When was the last time you cared more about happiness
Than you did about status and wealth?
When was the last time you stepped back
And were thankful for having your life and your health?

When was the last time you didn�t need to use words
To tell a friends how much you care for them?
When was the last time you looked at a sinner
And did not feel the need to condemn?

When was the last time you checked the hypocrisy at the door?
The last time you acted like the real you?
When was the last time you took off your plastic mask
The last time you admitted the sky was blue?

When was the last time you thought about someone else
Before you thought about your own selfish needs?
When was the last time you  felt love
Through the blindness of your own greed?

When was the last time you realized
That you�re not holy enough to cast that first stone?
When was the last time you realized that no one cares
And that at the end of the day you�re still alone?

When was the last time you could say
That money, power and greed weren�t tearing you apart?
When was the last time you looked within yourself
And felt content with the contents of your heart?
