Found Out To Be Naked, Exposing Themselves Poem by Margaret Alice

I don’t know a group of people more pedantic and
self-satisfied than translators looking for professional
status – so convinced of their superiority; looking
down on the rest of humanity – oh wait, this might
just as well describe the clergy

The highest rate of users of anti-depressants –
apparently prayer is only useful for their congregation;
as for themselves they’d rather side with the medics
as most of them do not believe in miracles, but must
preach belief in same for congregational gain –

Any group of people so concerned with themselves
and their supposed right to status and fame give me
reason to doubt their game – why not be content
to just be and render a necessary service; why
always whining about their supposed right

To higher status than your average citizen? – why
change their profession into a religion, elevating
themselves? their work is as essential as your common
dustman - nothing extraordinary; people in interaction
can help each other

Finding common ground– I’ve experienced
it myself – why do people have this need to exalt
themselves? - why not just be a plain human being;
why insist on being treated as emperors – when most
of them have no ethical clothes at all?

Without any special compassion or consideration
to distinguish them – yet insisting on being accorded
the status of royalty? They will be the sooner found out
to be naked, exposing themselves like that!
