It’s not as beautiful as they had me believe.
It’s not as kind or loving as I imagined it would be.
I’ve had enough of super hero films.
The protagonist doesn’t always win,
Sometimes the bad guys are just better.
We’ve taken our humanity and given it sides.
Dimensions of being more or less human than others.
Being alive isn’t enough, we have to live on the correct side.
Even history changes with our newfound perspectives,
Our changing moral standards.
How can we say what is right or wrong now?
What used to be right is now wrong,
And what used to be wrong is now right.
We are afraid of absolutes and their future consequences.
So we embrace subjectivity,
Because we are different, after all.
And there’s no need to bother with feeling accepted,
When we are entitled to our own perspectives.
I find beauty in difference.
We are meant to have differences.
But if we define ourselves by what’s different,
We lose common ground.
And we are also meant to have common ground.

So true !an interesting read . We do have to find some common ground although we are also allowed to be different . A good poem )
May that common ground be found by everyone and the world will be a wonderful place.
Good words Sonoran Bard.
Well put, we're all categorised to say nothing now just in case it offends the man on the moon. This will be the day there's a man on the moon online reading this.
