Diversity in Flames– RWWC Entry

#rwwc

Words: daughter, clever, ghoulish, bloodstain

Diversity,

The daughter of familiarity.

Born from the ashes and embers

Of ruined empires.

Left in darkness

Pushed aside

Unknown

The ones alone

Will rise

Fire consuming

Exclusivity

Rejection burned

By the world's pariahs

The clever ideals

If those who

Know the struggles

Not

Look down

Upon those the same

As them who

Discriminate

Equality

A fine delusion

Fought for

By those false elite

Acceptance

A beautiful mirage

In a ghoulish

Warped desert of a world

No oasis of solidarity

To be found

Propagandized

Misunderstood peoples

Fight for liberty

And are labeled with violence

The oppressed

Fight the power

And are branded as naught

But bloodstains and blemishes

On the earth
