To Your Higher Self You Cannot Be True Poem by Francis Duggan

To your higher self you cannot be true
If you do not give everyone the respect they are due
If their flaws you only do like to point out
And on their value as human beings cast a doubt
If you value one above another by her or his profession or monetary pay
You are one who is quite ordinary in your ordinary way
And with you as is said for to be rather frank
You are just one of many who help to uphold the social rank
Plenty like you in every village, city and town
All too willing to verbally put others down
The judgmental sad to say are not in the few
On this i am not saying anything that is new
In your words you never promote a fair go for all
Which makes you in your ways as a person rather small.
