not sure why

why do we differentiate people from people?
why do i judge who i see and decide who they are?
why do we all?
i'm frustrated now over a silly newspaper article.
i see a famous face and because i can spell her name from exposure,
she is special.
but what about the names that i have yet to see? hear? know?
are they no more important in this life of unforgiving justice?
i think not.
i wonder.
if we were to create a calculation
an utter number
to decide worth
the criterion? what would they be?
you struggle only because of your political correctness, not because of your granular ideas.
i see them too, in me.
i won't admit them here, for, certainly, my argument would nullify itself. can expression exist if contradictory? is not all we say and do and perform for the morality it betrays?
i think it is.
clothing.
hair.
thoughts put in air, on paper, in paint.
morality, our own totem pole of justice, sitting and waiting to be broadcast to the world.

anyhow, please do not allow my tangents to get the best of me.
i have finished a white with no intention of doing so. does this prove a problem?
i believe that we create problems before defining them. to every good, there is a worse off.
this the the fuel that we use for our judgements.
can anything just be...because?
doubt i cast upon this thought, only doubt.

it is right.
it is wrong.
it is too much, just right, too little.
tell me your guidebook and it's origin.
the nation, the politician.
tell me the author, the reasoning, and then, if supported in my inquiries, i may accept or deny your assumptions.

but for now, i refuse to accept that which is known to be good, bad, right, or wrong.
we are all individuals, she said to me, and i was told to believe her.


so i did.
