The Thief Of Joy

Old words of wisdom i learned as a boy

Comparisons are always the thief of joy

Yet those into comparing of people never seem to realize

That above the standards they set they themselves cannot rise

From those into comparing of people wisdom seems far away

This one better than others you often hear them say

On what is their idea of success in others they celebrate

But on so doing inequality among human beings they only help to create

It is not stating in any way anything that is new

That those into comparing of people are not of the few

Those who treat all as equal and people never compare

In the Human World sad to say becoming rare

Of the equality of human beings death the only true friend

Since it makes all people equal in the end.
