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
