Superiority

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: EQUAL RIGHTS


Superiority

 

To feel superior to someone else

Seems a basic human need

Like jealousy and hunger

Like avarice and greed

 

In America we are equal

It says so in our creed

But it only takes a single slight

To plant an evil seed

 

We divide ourselves by color

And again by our beliefs

When a horrid crime takes a life

We divide ourselves by grief

 

Everyone feels better than

And everyone feels worse

It’s the state of our humanity

It’s civilization’s evil curse

 

The time will come to start again

To change the way we think

With all the problems confronting us

We stand together or we will sink
