Oppressing Others Poem by samuel nze

We learn to harry others
Refusing then to grow
Preclude the boasts of those
We think can do no good

We ignore Him that taught
To heal our logged eyes
We go on playing prophet
Outweeping those bereaved

We prefer ugly people
They cause us hearty joy
The quick and brainy lad
We treat with bloated scorn

We do not want to see him
His greatness will offend
We want to swell but fail
Oppressing those that try.
