A poem I wrote when I think of people who look down upon people.

I will not look down upon any man

Even if he has cheated or has stole

So I will not say that I will or that I can

As I cannot see inside any mans soul,

I will not think that I am better than him

Judging from the clothes that he might wear

As in life we will either sink or swim

And sometimes the help we need is never there,

I will never think myself as superior

By ridiculing someone else for their belief

As if I did I myself would be inferior

And my mind and thoughts would give me grief,

I cannot and would not belittle any person

For a sad way that they live their life

If I did my own thoughts would only worsen

As I know not of their turmoil or strife,

I don’t know of the life that they had

Or of the footsteps that they had taken

I don’t know what made them happy or sad

Or by whom, they might had been forsaken,

Never will I look down upon anyone

Truly I don’t care what others might see

As one day I know as I am in my coffin

And I want no one looking down upon me.
