Being Human

She raves.
The words seem to salivate
Continuously.
Each conversation
Brings forth new hatred,
New intolerance
Towards those who......just live.

Pathetic narrow-mindedness,
Expelling unawareness
Of simplistic normality.
Hasn’t got a clue.

Blinded by ignorance,
An erroneous insolence
Or maybe just arrogance.
Incoherent brain activity
Competing with an incompetence
For even mildly refined respect.

He paints.
So many colours
Does an artist have to choose
And yet he has apparent thought
To combine more than one.
Adds yellow, blue and red
To the plain and boring white
As they are the primary colours
Essential for all creativity.
He does not judge one to be better than another.
The artist does not have to chose,
Why should we?

Though how magnificent the feeling
Of being able to oppress
Another human being
For simply being human.

She raves...........
