How we judge ourselves and others.

Humanity’s Condescension


 


Life? Our procession.


Boom through recession


Personal progression


Quantified by possession


Attainment the aspiration


Without just perspiration


 


Result! Epidemic depression


Equals species regression


 


Consider your nation


Oozing condemnation


Opposition face suppression


The meek, oppression


Gain by deception?


Surely not perception


 


Accompanying our ascension


Humanity's condescension
