You are no better than me and I no better than you

Equality

Your eyes a green
Filled not with purity but with despise
But they are no better than mine
After all they are but eyes

Your skin a beautiful tan
Not tainted in beauty but tainted with sin
But yours is no better than mine
After all it is but skin

Your words longer
But said with ignorance not grace
But they are no better than mine
For you cannot say them to my face

Your clothes much richer
Not with beauty but wealth
Surely no better than mine
For both keep good health

Your but a person
Something I am too
Surely no better than I
And I no better than you

wow this is exceptional. it really speaks to me in a way i can relate. it shows maturity in which no one is better than another, we are all under the same skies, and that the person this poem is aimed towards has yet to see it. beautifully written, great job!

This was absolutely amazing. What a great write! This is something more people should act like. This is probably one of my favorite writes on this site. Well done.

Your words here sting...but its the truth that hurts.
I like the in your face style here. Its amazing how you
can attack someone in such an unrelenting nature with
what seems to be a complete absence of violence.

Im sure your bark is far worse than your bite.
