Writing Assignment 3 Draft 2

Come and take a step back with me—
And view this cycle objectively.

Do you see this caricature of oppression?
You once stepped on his formerly innocent toes.
Do you feel that ring of familiarity?

Or perhaps you remember this tyrant—
She was the one who, so long ago
You expelled onto an island of humiliation.

Could it be that these menaces of society,
Are really the offspring of our former jealousies?

Take a step back with me—
And view this cycle objectively.

See this caricature of oppression?
You once stepped on his formerly innocent toes.
Do you feel a ring of familiarity?

No?

Perhaps you remember this tyrant—
She was the one who, so long ago
You expelled onto an island of desperation and humiliation.

Could it be that the menaces of society,
Are really the offspring of our former jealousies?

Think with me, just for a moment now.
What a novel idea!
That the sparing of one’s feelings now—
Could lead to the sparing of lives later?
