Priorities

Ask anyone what they value

and if they answer honestly

Something materialistic will come out

 

"How people see me.."

"The kind of car I drive.."

"How much money I have.."

 

Such a common thing in our world

To value something suceptible to change

Something that can be lost in an instant

 

People will always have opinions

No matter what kind of car you drive

or how much cash you flash

 

But what if they judge who you are?

 

"My skin is darker than yours."

"I prefer the same gender as my own."

"I have a learning disablity."

 

Who has the right to judge the type of person they are

Based on sexuality or race?

Based on education?

 

So what you're smarter?

So what our skin doesn't match?

So what a man like another man?

 

If you want someone to treat you the way a human should be treated

Than you need to take a step back

And look in the mirror

 

Because honey, 

Any  human would want

Fair treatment

 

No matter what they're IQ may be

Or the color from the color wheel that maybe on their body's

Or what happens behind closed doors.

 

If you can't put yourself before others

Then you don't deserve that fancy car

Or the false image you've created with material items.
