Analysis of Entitlement Given To Receive



Entitlement given,
To repeated grievances...
Receiving the same antiquated,
Attention to get.
Regardless the approach.
Or the childishness of it.
Has of yet not changed,
The embarrassing way it stagnates to stay...
Focused upon the ignorance,
Of those who obtain to gain...
Positions of leadership.
In places where political races are won,
By the ones cheering their ability to enforce,
A supporting to endorse...
An incompetence limited to image.
And the color of one's skin.
Kept to fiction, deny and delude,
Intelligence to have it...
Excludes to not include,
The participation of ethnic diversity.
And the reality of faces historically erased.
To have it believed a greatness achieved,
Had been completely Caucasian created!
Although...
Conflicts, chaos, hatred, division and racism,
Seems nowhere to appear listed...
Of their greatest achievements accomplished.

'Ugh.
How ugly an assessment,
To exaggerate and embellish.'

'Truth...?
Nevermind!
Only a miracle,
Can return sight to the blind.
And an unconscious mind?
Has a way to always find,
Allies and the undying loyalty of supporters.'
