Inequality

What gives anyone one the right
to deem others inequal by just one glance
or sight?

Trampling on their rights as if they were
nonexistent, just to prove a point or
make a statement?

The world is still divided in black and white,
forgetting all the other variables that exist,
refusing to give each other the benefit of the doubt,

When inequality makes an appearance,
nothing is ever fair, only assumptions that
cast people out of the loop.
