Pigmentocrisy

Our world is moving in a direction that could set us back a few hundred years, Pigmentocrisy, the art of achieving through complexion, Light, medium or dark, Merit and effort don't really matter, The pigment of one's complexion will determine success, Caste systems and echelons will be put to the test, Shades of creole will determine who is considered the best, From light to dark the pendulum will sway, with lighter skinned people having their way, while the darker complected will have to fight for their right to be heard, Pigmentocrisy is about to create dissension and segregation in an already volatile world.
