What's Greater

It doesn’t discriminate It keeps us all down We can’t control it It’s powerful but doesn’t make a sound It’s everywhere, but we see it nowhere It has no smell and has no feel And for Astronauts it holds strong appeal Or An oppressive force Lifts some people high and puts others down You may see its effects everyday, So used to it that it doesn’t cross your mind Can cause pain and misery whether for an individual, family, or community It can discriminate and stereotype So can you see what’s invisible to many, but affects our lives daily? Now answer, what’s greater, gravity or society?
