Elitist Beefs



Attention meant to get it quick.
With self serving elitist beefs.
Not intended to mend,
The ending of racial division.
But to focus upon the 'wrongs' of them.
As if these wrongs began,
Without their discriminating pretensions.
You know...
Create the problem.
Then accuse and blame the victim.
And...
The obviousness,
Of this ongoing and repetitive to witness...
Contradiction,
Is in the way they use...
What gets others upset enough to protest.
The elitist join in.
With an escalating these events,
Threatening arguments that heats...
Violence.
Agitating onlookers to follow along.
Then...
Without it to be noticed,
The elitists disappear.
To appear giving interviews on TV.
Blaming to accuse what they do,
Conveniently on ethnic diversity.
Nowhere to prove the truth of this,
On the evening news filmed to see...
Those of ethnic diversity,
Watching from a distance...
Who the culprits are,
Performing destruction.
And...
Escorted away.
As if stars of a reality TV show!
