Moral Pygmies
I scope the landscape,
The view is clear.
For near my eyesight,
Nothing is near.
Their heads bump this way.
Their mouths are closed.
As some would say,
They are brown-nosed.
Nobody can see those,
Pygmies down there,
Whose moral outrage
Is seen nowhere.
But now I know,
What should be clear.
I cannot see them.
They cannot be seen.
Their heads all reach,
But below my knees.
The moral pygmies,
Are you and me.
