Can You?

You can learn from somebody yet not be inferior 

You can lift somebody up but not be superior 

You can better a person and refrain from being imperious 

You can have pride and still be curious 

You can be developing and still be rich in heritage 

You can be developed and still find ways to engage

You can be human and that doesn't make you intelligent 

You can't stand by in apathy and want to be ascendant
