We live in a time of societal-shattering norms
where historical hierarchies have been discredited
and no longer does a scale from neutral to varying
degrees of skin colour predicate elevated pedestal
from a floor bare of pretense of entitlements. A time
when we have rescued children from the burden of
education in science, geography, economics
mathematics, nature, history and the practical
elements of self-care so no longer will the darlings
face the trauma of exams determining academic
credit levels for all are equal in the accomplishment
of absorbing lessons in human advances. Advances
that now focus on elements of diversity, equality
inclusion whereby to own a black skin is to know
there are no obstacles to achievement; conversely
a white skin signals failure. Set in the stone of
improving the social weal unjust parameters of
merit and achievement limp into a discarded past.
The colour-disabled now elevated to positions of
authority, social order reversed, old verities of
aspiration in exalted goals submit before the
majesty of entitlement where no one dares intervene
in criminal acts perpetrated by people of colour
lest the thunder of the exalted creed descend.
