On the soap box

Intolerance

Intolerance has replaced understanding,

in a world centred around me and my rights,

life has become all about me comfort levels,

my right to feel safe and secure.

 

Intolerance means those who don't have what I do,

haven't earn it or obtain rights by illegally,

it doesn't recognise we were born equally

or we all have the same human basic rights.

 

Intolerance implies superiority,

my status is the correct one,

my way of life more important,

devaluing others.

 

Intolerance ends the need for compassion,

fails to admit mistakes and wrong doing,

makes it OK to pass judgements on others,

leading to a break down is social justice.

Intolerance breaths arrogance and self righteousness,

it ends the need to any social responsibility,

or need for social inclusion of others,

it feeds fear and insecurities.
