I am less bright (in the work place)

Intelligence planted in infertile and dormant terrain
Intelligence's seeds sterilized and toiled in fruitless vain
Intelligence rooted in desert-like territory in the brain

Stupidity sloughs off synaptic clefts like mud
Stupidity chews cerebral branches into cud
Stupidity clogs electrical currents with grimy crud

Decisions deferred to others with mental superiority
Decisions directed to those equipped with intellectual authority
Decisions adamantly avoided involving even a semblance of gravity

Idiocy branded a virulent pestilence
Idiocy forced into a vacuum of unremitting silence
Idiocy exiled and ostracized to the pavement of vagrance

democracy stalled...

Haves force adherence to biased conformity
Haves sneer at concepts of justice and equality
Haves rages towards difference with impunity
Haves reign as purveyors of superiority

Have-nots minds corrupted from conception
Have-nots denied adequate, comparable education
Have-nots fear resistive circumvention
Have-nots bow heads in automaton-like submission

Society stands incurious, eyes vacant of sympathy
Society sits on sidelines, face remiss of empathy
Society watches idle as haves perpetuate ruthless antipathy
Society throws the white towel into the ring of apathy
