We Don’t Have Worms
We say we want equality;
an acceptance of what’s
different.
We like to speak words like freedom,
tolerance, and fairness.
We want to be accepted in a sometimes
hostile society.
We don’t want doctrines shoved
down our throats
like med pills down the throat
of an unwilling animal,
to get rid of the worms in its
stomach.
We don’t have worms;
We just have differences of
opinion.
With all this preaching
of equality, tolerance, and acceptance,
one would think that we’d all
be pretty understanding
towards others not like us,
who aren't us.
Instead, we call each other bigots,
racists, sexists, hypocrites,
and the list goes on.
“Equality!” we proclaim!
“Equality for all!”
But all anyone ever sees anymore
is people,
people shitting on other peoples’,
different peoples’
values, opinions, beliefs, their integrity.
See, equality isn't a pill
we should stuff down each other’s
throats.
Equality shouldn't deal
in the drug of hypocrisy
like it’s some sort of medicine.
Because none of us have worms.
