Chance - Process Your Anger about the Human Condition

Chance

By / / 2 Comments

Attach the label,
Accusatory scarlet letter,
Moral failing, character flaw,
Stamp of inadequacy.

Point a crooked finger,
Their fault, they’re lazy,
Not enterprising and
Hard-working like us.

Gilded mantle of
Success and civilization,
Gentility personified,
There but for chance.

    This poem expresses timeless judgmental attitudes in a way that touches your own sense of self righteousness. I was thinking of the truthful and moving words long after I was done reading the poem. It really stays with you.
