Imagine

I won't lie, it's not a feel-good poem, but I believe the subject is important

Imagine a world

Where your race

Your sexuality

Your gender

Your religion

Or higher power

Or lack there of

Just didn't matter

Imagine if

Your social status

Your financial status

Your anything really

Didn't matter

How many times

Have you looked around

And judged somebody

By how they are dressed

How they look

Even what car they drive?

I know I've done it

And I'm not proud of it

Think about how you see

The homeless man

The millionaire

The celebrity

But that's not how it is

Is it?

We'd like to believe it is

That we don't judge

But that's not really the case

Imagine getting there though

Imagine there be no discrimination

No judgments on or of others

What would that look like?

Is it possible?

I'd like to believe it is

Or at least move more in that direction

Wouldn't you?

I can't imagine much of it

But I believe this world

Would be a better place

If it happened

What about you?

Author's Note

I want you to honestly think about it.
Also eventually there will be a part 2 of sorts
Not sure when though

I think it's common sense that we all do it and that it would be better if we didn't. Life these days puts us all on a sliding scale... one's moral and ethical numbers will be someplace from far left to far right on the hateful and evil side towards the joyous and blessed side. I'd like to believe that most people probably are somewhere in the center + good side...

Good ink! The kind that makes one think! Thanks for sharing!

You're right, it is common sense. But I think it's something to strive for, to be better about it. I catch myself doing it and try to stop. I'll never be perfect, but the closer we get to minimizing, the better off this world would be I believe.
I'm glad it made you think, that's what I want.
