Here's a short poem that I came across.
Take a Walk Around Yourself
"When you're criticizing others
And are finding, here and there,
A fault or two to speak of
Or a weakness you can tear:
When you're blaming some one's weakness
Or accusing some of pelf -
It's time that you went out
To take a walk around yourself...."

P.S. I apologize for not reading this aloud. IMO, if I read this poem aloud, then it would've been ruined: there is a certain type of voice that can move people with poetry, and I do not possess such a voice.
