I kneel before my master
As he sits in glory upon his throne.
In cloths of silver adorned with gold,
He looks so fashionable and bold.
While I, a simple man of lowly order,
Wear hat and rags that show their age.
Surely no pompous ass am I.
Yet I dare not look him in the eye.
For though he has the power of a god,
He’s threatened by we who work so hard.
Author notes
I wrote this simple poem for one of my children to discuss the meaning and complexities of the word inferiority
