It's Our Job

It's our job
It's our job to smile
At those who know less
Than us
It's our job to not
Scoff at the ignorant
Mock the petty
Categorize the mislead
It's our job because
That power could just
As well be our undoing
Could be the birth
Of another type of ignorance
Named arrogance
Named degradation
And it's our job to
Lead others to the light
Not drown our
Brothers and sisters in
The wake of our darkness
It is our God given task
That we must carry out with
Grace and consideration
