Beneficial Evidence

So many have declared themselves to be,
Knowledgeable experts.
In various fields to have obtained,
And acquired certifiable expertise.

So many have received degrees,
From a variety...
Of prestigious Ivy League schools.
With a pledging their allegiance,
To Greek sororities and fraternities too.
As if this done achieves and proves,
Common sense is theirs to use.

And this production,
Can not be said...
Produces fools with empty heads.
No.
Since this admission,
Would undo a deluding of fiction defended.
And tools to fools to use to provide,
Is no excuse to refuse...
An incompetence denied on the rise.
The expense of this,
Continues to be ignored.
And protected from criticism.

Yet...
More on display these days than not.
Are accusations made,
To claim and place the blame...
On others less fortunate who can not afford,
Performances to indulge themselves...
In the pretentiousness of images.
That block to stop,
The ones known to be more qualified.
But not certified to masquerade,
A faking of masked faces.
Given approval to charade.

And...
Just where is the benefit?
Or the evidence that applies,
To the betterment of all lives?
With it witnessed a diminishing everyday,
A quality of life...
Eroding and not hidden from anyone's sight.

'I have grown sick and tired,
Of hearing about those less fortunate.
Poor.
Disenfranchised, manipulated and abused.
Yet few are heard to mention,
What has happened to our values.
Tell me...
Who recommended this cheap wine?
To assume it represents,
Us and what we have achieved?
And this caviar?
Needless to say,
Is not fresh.
Why?
What has happened to our values.
And who is it daring to disguise their worth?
I demand to know this and have revealed.'
