Ignorance breeds prejudice

Prejudice breeds apathy

Apathy breeds acceptance

Acceptance breeds arrogance

Arrogance breeds

There's a lot of food for thought in your poem, George. And I definitely agree that "ignorance breeds prejudice." You have depicted a "vicious cycle," indeed! Like the way you ended it by carrying us back to the beginning. Fine work, George! Love, Carolyn
