for we have had more
than enough of contempt.
Our soul has had more than its fill
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud." Psalm 123:4
Our soul has had more than its fill
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud." Psalm 123:4
how easy it is
to believe that we
are the ones
deemed contemptible
when the super-rich seek
to take away our imagined
well-deserved perks,
yet all the while those
whose fingertips cling to the
edges of the floor of privilege
on which we have built
our superior attitudes and lives,
know that we would have
no hesitation in stepping
on their hopes and turning
away as they fall into that
basket labeled 'deplorables.'
