      all immemse merits drown -
         pure vast empty minds....

INCOHERENCE


         


The rich are getting richer,
the poor are getting poorer...
they call this meritocracy
and they still ask for and win votes...!...

If God's divinely polyamorous will
is not a health-optimizing meritocracy,
an economic
and politically cooperative 
democracy
of regenerating multicultural wealth

Then may She eat Her post-climatic
degenerating
desecrating
hat....

You may not believe me
But I know it so well
Every lilac tree
Has its own special smell
This I fail to describe

Each tree has its own type
Blooming easy and free
There's no equality shared
No familiar democracy
Lilacs fragrances spread
Fugitive meritocracy
Flattering you with the one
Sweetest lie
You are still fair and young
If you give it a try.

Nepotism's Only Kin Deep
Chip off the old block;
        It runs in the family.
This all needs to stop
        In our meritocracy.

Titles through ages;
        A generation’s game.
Lordships by bloodline,
        Some things need to change.

Birth won’t denote skill;
        It keeps people out.
Mobility’s lost
        When money they flout.

James Caan can shove it,
        And let workers in.
Nobles move over,
        Let our time begin....
