This word is full of people
Who feel self-entitled
Who want to be dignified
They’re more important
They’re above you
Above us all
These ideals are what holds us back as human beings
Your job
Your economic status
Your religion
Your sexual orientation
Your gender
Nor your skin color
Makes you no better than anyone else
I wish people would see
It’s an imagined social status
That is segregating people
Causing more riffs
Turmoil
For what?
Stroking your own ego?
You are the fool
And those who embrace humanity
We are the many
Our words of love
Will not be hushed
By your spews of hatred

Your poem sends a much-needed message- whether black or white, religious or atheist, man or woman, we are, after all, human beings and must stand united. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I started writing this piece with a different goal and then this idea flooded my mind. The world feels to be at such odds… it hurts my soul but I won’t let it break my humanity and the support for my brothers/sisters of the world.

And yes! Humanity rocks! (Okay, I probably went a bit overboard with my stupidity there but your thoughts are great).
