A Better Place

The world will be a better place,
when people can admit,
those not like themselves,
in their private club or clique,
are capable of good works.
When people not like themselves,
are no longer played with like toys,
a callousness, and arrogance,
only practiced by those in power,
not mature enough to realize,
that one day they will not be,
when their days are drawing short,
an ending no one escapes,
 what will they think then?
