Someone is most likely better at something than you
Better than you can ever hope to be
No matter how hard you work
This person will probably excel far past you
And with less effort put forth
None of us are true equals
Except in our uniqueness
And you are truly unique
Nothing exactly like you has ever existed before
And never will again
For even if you will be reincarnated
And are born again
The new born you
Will not be exactly like you right now
But will again be something truly unique
Just like you

This is less poetic and more thoughtful compared to my others works. I've written two other poems similar to this The Great Equalizer and Imperfect Universes but decided to write something new combining the two. I hope you enjoy, but mostly I hope it causes you to think and possibly see things from a different perspective.
I agree, we are all unique and equal. Very well written poem!
ReplyDeleteExcellent take on the prompt, with much truth to it! =)

Yes, I love it - each of us is unique and while others may say it, write it, do it better.....each voice is unique and distinct and there is some equality in that. I loved reading this. Good work!
ReplyDeleteDiane: Thank you very much for your words.
ReplyDeleteWeasel: Thank you a well, I try to put as much truth as I can in my works. Even if I'm writing a bit of new mythology.
Sherry: Thank you, I enjoyed your take on this, it got me thinking and gave me a different perspective.

ReplyDelete...None of us are true equals
ReplyDeleteExcept in our uniqueness...
...true indeed...felt.
Too many forget just how unique they truly are and how that connects them to each and every thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat you say is true, I feel good about myself now, xk
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy to hear that, now keep that feeling going.
ReplyDeleteUniqueness is indeed the great equalizer but so many don't take advantage of it, nice one. Take care,

Very sad but true.
ReplyDeleteLooksofar,
ReplyDeleteYou are quite right when you say that we are not all the same.
We are each unique, but we should be afforded an equal opportunity in life.
Liked your words very much.

I hope we can all learn to be more accepting of each others differences, too many don't seem to understand you don't have to agree with someone to accept them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am glad you enjoyed my work.
Great Idea; I love it~
ReplyDeleteThank you for your enjoyment as well.
