Discrimination..... Poem by Poornima Kanasen

The act of inequity,
Done and still being done,
The purpose undeniably shows Jim Crowism*,
In it, some finds fulfillment and contentedness,
Whilst others, disrelish it,
A fixation, I would relate it…
A trend, a mien it has become,
For the upper-class and the prominent,
It serves as fate for the unsuited ones,
Why? Is it the call of nature?
Or
Is it the fiddle-faddle of life?
Feelings hurt, benevolence left unattended,
The cries of heart, simply forgotten,
Rendered based on unfairness,
What good can it bring?
Favoritism, intolerance and small-mindedness,
Sway banefulness into life itself,
It cripples the growth of mankind,
An act of devils, evil it is,
Enough is enough,
In its own pace, let life prospers.
