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.

There are folks among us who think they are better
because of their positions in life or hierarchy,
They have not learned the art of humility,
They turn up their noses at colors they do not like,
associating minorities with all sorts of ills and strifes,
In their book minorities are inequal and not worthy of their
time,
So, they get tossed on the back burner,
waiting and waiting, without any designation
of time.........,
Sometimes it's social racism at its best,
Yet, they would never confess to their superiors,
that they think everyone else is inferior,
They just keep their competitors' down
by making them seem unsafe and unsound.
