Quick To Wish To Be Accepted

So quick to wish to be accepted.
With a doing of anything to be perceived as equal.
To do everything done to be the ones selected.
And intergrated with the blinding of eyes not to be found to hate.

But the time has come for all of their desires to be outdated.
With a teaching to hate themselves successfully achieved.
Since what they should have wanted was identified dignity.
And doing that would have found them today elated.
