The 'Wise' Elite (Opinion) ! Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

In the present times any where in the world, there is no wisdom. All most all are carried away by their limited perceptions, fanatic affiliations, arrogance in propagating their point of view, impatience for others' opinions, love for the medieval dictum of might is right - the might being composed of many varieties, superiority complex based on color of skin, place of residence, status in the society, 'agility' in the running of economy or a nation, etc., are enabling most to be quarrelsome and not ennobling individuals or nations to be humble and show care for others' welfare and well-being. This globe is in chaos and is not inclined in the reconciliation of ideas and views.

Many pseudo-intellectuals have sprung up and proliferated siding only certain sections of society and claiming to think for them but in reality ending up working in increasing the chasm among peoples' and in fine turning out as impatient and intolerant individuals disturbing and tearing the fabric of peace in the societies and globe.

Such narrow-minded intellectuals are doing more harm to all including themselves and for the interests of the sections for which they claim they devoted their intellect.

The need of the hour is comprehension and reconciliation among ideologies, religions, regions, nationalities and sub-nationalities. These elite individuals are turning out to be more dangerous than ordinary followers. These 'wise'people are instigating one section against the other. This is the most unfortunate reality.

Let us and the globe be saved from these dividing intellectuals.
