Inadequate.   Inept.   Insufficient.

Out.                   In.          Out.

Where does a person’s worth come from?

When did we learn to hate ourselves?

When did we learn to fear each other?

We hold so tightly to tradition

our ancestors history is so important

used to justify abhorrent behavior today

What if we put as much energy

toward the future?

to moving forward

to embracing evolution

to broadening our perspective

to a collective understanding

Or is that just too much to ask?
