No Better
carpenter no better than a plumber
doctor no better than a nurse
lawyer no better than a client
judge no better than a clerk
boss no better than a secretary
principal no better than a janitor
teacher no better than a student
preacher no better than the flock
why do we give some people
so much power
too much power
just because of title
when in the end
we’re all the same
any one person
could be a liar or thief
a wife beater
or child abuser
an addict
a sexual preditor
or even worse
it’s the same crap shoot
as everything in life
the people in the church pews
aren’t all angels
live your life
but do no harm
do better
but don’t think you’re better
we’re all the same
it’s one leg at a time
just like everybody else
