Taller, shorter

Center or border

Cursive or bubbly

Black or blue

Flip flops or boots

Curly or straight

Short or long

Young or old

Weak or strong

Who is the best of all time

Who is the richest

The strongest, the quickest

Will we ever seek till we find

Am I smart, am I pretty

Am I lacking or plenty?

What’s the standard

Who sets it

Did you bet on it

Why is there pressure

Who sets the measure

We’re all in a line

Like wrongdoers against the wall

Awaiting our time

Judgement will come for us all

In all the variance

There is beauty

Among the misfits, a second chance

Each person is an image

In each soul, a seal

We’re hard-wired, with a true way to be

Each one, very good

All an expression

Worth the tension

Made to standard

Just awaiting redemption
