ELITISM versus EQUALITY

 

                          ELITISM versus EQUALITY

 

Elitism, an English word implies superior,

derived days of yore, populace inferior,

based on racism, speech, colour, culture

millions demeaned, personal, financial, future.

 

Snobbery, discrimination, past generations,

citizens downtrodden, depressed, many nations,

governments, religious dogma, mass manipulation

emphasizes worldwide antisocial frustration.

 

Goodwill, less fortunate, highlights world news,

age-old revered relics, conflicting reviews,

history epitomizes what must not occur again,

initiate equality, for hereafter gen.

 

Plaques, public statues, leaders once worthy of praise

negative graphics added, depicting today’s  phase.

 

“Create life's journey, learn from the past!”
