Stephen Crane - I stood upon a high place, 

I stood upon a high place,
And saw, below, many devils
Running, leaping,
and carousing in sin.
One looked up, grinning,
And said, "Comrade! Brother!"

I think it shows how we can describe so well what we see, and forget that we belong in the picture. Discusted at what is below us, yet forgetting that we arent much higher, and that no one is better. i like this poem alot.
