The piece really was authored, but not by George Carlin. According to Snopes, Carlin was asked about it in an interview.
Also according to Snopes:
Great piece, but wrongly attributed to a guy who protested against eloquence with his profanities. (I'm a Carlin fan - not judging, just stating facts here).

Hi, Jazuela,
I looked up the attribution, too. I was not so sure about Carlin either so I checked. I wanted to think it could have been him because it is known that comedians, edgy or not, and humorists, like Twain, are among the most insightful people when it comes to human nature. I appreciate your checking, too, and also your fair comments here.
Anyway, I really like the words of wisdom in that piece of writing, shared here by our OP.
