same old conundrum
if everyone is special
then is anyone special
if everyone is rare
is anyone rare
aren't those just more
labels
why does anyone
need to be rare
or special
or anything else
ego
conditioning
not sure why it's important
but there are
signs everywhere
telling people
how fabulous
they are
seems silly
separates people
divides them
puts them into categories
let's people think they are
more
better
different
rarer
than the person
in the next seat
we all do it
tell the kids around us
how amazing they are
when they are simply
being kids
like all the other kids
isn't it a disservice
to say those things
in a world
that pretends
we should all get along
and everyone is equal
isn't it just one more
way to teach competition
and when kids/people
find out that they aren't more rare
than anyone else
not more special
will they think they were lied to
all their lives
or will they continue to believe
they are all of those things
and that everyone else is wrong
