Allegiance To Grievance



Upholding an allegiance to grievance.
And entitled rights to prove,
A fear that threatens...
Taking progressive moves away,
From ways remaining to stay...
Hopelessly cemented in restricting ignorance.
Sad,
Are the minds...
Blinded unconsciously behind the times.
And with beliefs fictioned to feel,
Relief they can temporarily keep...
Truth kept to refuse reality to silence.
Regardless if denial lived to delude,
Has created a quality of life left to slide...
Downhill into a cesspool.
Many without insight delight in the power,
Darkness has become invited to rule over...
Enlightenment.
And a future intended and meant to exist.
Yet...
Has no chance if incompetent and limited,
Leadership continues to be picked...
By images to worship a culture based upon,
Unrealistic ideals to imitate and idolize...
Empty pretensions absent of substance.
Although...
Dependable are conflicts, division.
And the diversity of racial ethnicities,
Upheld to prove,
A pledging an allegiance to grievance...
Is worth the chaos it causes to blame others,
As a ritual.
Historic.
To support and endorse,
Without explanation needed!
