Here we stand as tiny specks, <br />saying our world in the only one. <br />Here we stand as bigots, <br />ignoring all the telling facts about. <br />Here we stand superior, <br />needing nothing and no one. <br />Here we stand alone, <br />so fearful of anything unknown, <br />but here we are such fools, <br />in that we believe our lies. <br /> <br />2 February 1987<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fools-4/
