Intolerance
INTOLERANCE
Intolerance is a not too subtle flavour of disdain
That festers within a society blinded by
Individualism and Cant
To breathe the smog of hatred that surrounds
Is to invite within the animosities and wrongs
That may never be overcome or tamed
The seeds of indifference sown wide
Promulgate ignorance
Buttressed by the inability to tell right from wrong
Worship of lucre
And praise from snakes
Inflates egos
That have no inbuilt brakes
Society is condemned
Side-lined
Traduced
Selfishness of thought and action
Man’s new truth
