The Box

[Fathima]

Hello,

I know this poem kind of deals with religion, but it is a personal poem. I hope that it does not offend anyone, and if it does, then I apologize. I would like to know if this poem makes sense or if it is any good. Thank you.


The box said, 'Look at that woman! She is oppressed! '
But all he saw was a woman pious and blessed.

The box said, 'Look at this woman! She is beautifully dressed! '
But all he saw was a woman objectified and in distress.

The box said, 'Look at that man! He commits crime! '
But all he saw was a man who liked to pray on time.

The box said, 'Look at this man! He is of the wise! '
But all he saw was a man committed to no more than lies.

The box said, 'Look at that child! He lives in poverty! '
But all he saw was a child who was rich because he had a loving family.

The box said, 'Look at this child! She is a superstar! '
But all he saw were her tears fall, because she understood that they have gone way too far.

The box said, 'Look at yourself! You don't belong! '
He closed it and said, 'I obey God and follow His prophets.
And with that, no one can ever go wrong.'
