#32 of Poetry

A poem about the faults and benefits of living in society and among the community. Inspired from reading Pride and Prejudice.

_Society_

The region of wealth   
Sapping the strength   
Of personality

Power is an illusion   
 Avert your eyes   
From the terror within   
For authority can cause fear   
Control over the masses   
No control over oneself

Pride is not vain   
 Both are not selflessness   
 They eat away at kindness   
Parasitic to caring

Boasting of oneself   
 Arrogance referred   
Demeaning at least

Dominance over others   
Weakness unto oneself

Superior in class   
Not inferior in mind   
But inferior in everything   
Superiority thinks priority   
 Never humility   
 Debunk the obvious   
Superiority to be less   
Than what is nothing

Perfection is a myth   
As is normalicy   
Weirdness is the norm   
Uniqueness shared by all

Inherit title, status wealth   
Never inherit more   
But royalty in lineage   
Never to inherit more   
Hard-work morals   
 And intelligence   
Not by blood alone

Status labels accomplishments   
Not always justifiable   
If accomplishments won   
Satisfaction is earned   
Status is earned   
Yet freely given   
Sadly

Qualities brought upon   
By humanity   
 Within Society   
Unwant by the load

Greed pride vanity   
Selfishness wealth status   
Arrogance dominance lineage   
Spite perfection normalicy   
Hypocrisy judgment ignorance   
Hate superiority weakness

Better qualities to be learned   
 Taught by humanity   
 Hidden in Society   
Wanted by the grasp

Happiness self-worth independence   
Selflessness security prosperity   
Humility equality family   
Forgiveness acceptance uniqueness   
Admittance understanding intelligence   
Love encouragement strength

See what Society has to offer   
Before Society shows you wrong.
