You Who Are Into Comparing People Poem by Francis Duggan

You who are into comparing people your favourite subject is Human I Q
Of the true worth of an individual I'm sure you do not have a clue,
You tell us all people are equal yet people you always compare
And sad to think your type are many and sad to think your type are not rare.

You who are into comparing people by their financial well being or the work they do
Your own higher self you cannot find to your own self you ought to be true
The so called under achievers of the Classroom may one day be seen as the best
They may be quite outstanding people when values are put to the test.

You who are into comparing people you help to uphold the social divide
You are not an endangered species there are millions like you Worldwide
You feel at home amongst the judgemental you look at life through narrow eyes
And you will never be remembered as one who was prudent and wise.

You who are into comparing people you have your own problems 'twould seem
Your talk of the haves and the have nots says little of your
own self esteem
When you waffle on without thinking you do nothing for Human kind
And sad to think that people like you are abundant and never have been hard to find.
