What is your confidence?

You may notice someone in power
Wealthy in either financial fortune
Or social freedom, or popularity
That makes you feel inferior to keen

Thereafter, you wonder the reason
Underlying all the distinction between
You and them, and effort for alteration 
But for whatever reason, you fail to gain

Thereafter, you turn to loose hands
And show obedience by pretending
No jealous of others luck and setting in
And forcing  yourself hypocritically
Obey and flirt them by forbidding your mind
Of being dignitaries and persistence in truths
To be in cavity alike pets and tools
Without selfness and auto dominance

The doings you act are biologically right
Aside from being morally wrong
As evolution says , the doctrines are urged:
The finner you adopted to the environment
The greater chance you win the competition

But where are the moralities then?
Come on! they are hiding in your soul
Wondering when you  are going" to be"
Charitable person, otherwise, hooligan!
Then tell me, what's your confidence
As a human who is morally sound
While also biologically win?
