World's Vicious Cycle

What do we all do first?

Judge or use Instinct

It’s hard to tell nowadays

Because everyone has different ways

When one judges from the bit

Therein lies no respect

I ask myself, why judge others when it is wrong

Maybe it is that feeling of wanting to belong

Some judge others to gain a sense of power

When it actually degrades you and makes you lower

At times, it is considered a joke and has no intentions of hurting someone

And this is why some don’t understand

We all have feelings and try to play it off

But on the inside we are going raw and rough

Where did empathy and sympathy go for others?

Why do we have to be competitive toward one another?

I may be different and unique from you

But we should not fight over who’s above who

Differences are good in becoming diverse

Maybe we could all work on putting each other first

We push away the problems and avoid the conflict

But to find a solution, one must react.

Even if that means one should subtract.
