(What a Dangerous Illusion)

Social hierarchy is quite the dangerous illusion…

an accepted social construct that was reached by what conclusion?

The one we are programmed to believe is true…

But the truth of the matter is,

You're not better than me. I'm not better than you.

Our harsh judgments of each other are biased…ill educated…misconstrued…

Define status.

Better yet, define what you think it should mean…

Who were you before the world told you who you were meant to be?

Versus who you actually are…

Before it made you feel so defeated…. You let your soul become depleted…And you forgot how you should be treated?

However, don’t let yourself be fooled. We are all here for a reason…

And that cannot be ranked…

So why does everything else need to be?

Social hierarchy is quite the dangerous illusion…

Don’t be convinced to think otherwise, or fooled by such carefully crafted lies...

*Don’t be the cause of your own demise*
