What if no one ever taught you…

that skin color determines worth

to put yourself down

that it’s okay to litter (especially if it’s something little like gum or a cigarette)

that animals are less valuable than humans

how to criticize

that it’s okay to complain

to eat fast food or to crave sweets

to analyze everything with your brain

that our resources are infinite

that man has dominion over all else

to speak rudely to another

to see differences as bad

that imaginary lines divide the peoples of the world

to question your inner knowing

to hate

what if no one ever taught you

what if
