Edgewise

By your own definition
no need to quantify
your own set of convictions
that you choose to live by!

Your fall from grace foreshadowed
by those you would deny
the time of day before you
fell victim to your pride!

Revel in the cesspool of
what you once found so repugnant
my loathing for your kind
almost too much for me to stomach.

Your soapbox dashed to pieces
those you scorned now turn and laugh
true to themselves, now what they've earned
respect that you won't ever have!

Blinded! By your own self-righteousness
ignoring simple truths
your condescension's numerous despite your youth!

So easy to put down others
when you know not where your heart dwells.
So easy to see through people
who make spectacles of themselves.

Created for self-realization
constant elevation
misused for separation
from reprobate contamination.

Take time out for self-exploration
and education
our goal will be towards unification
unfettered by miscommunication.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!
Embrace our similarities, time to set the tone!
Celebrate our own diversity, let this truth be known!
Then, and only then, can we call this world our own!
