CONTINUUM

 

Once a nation of white and black

Now so many shades

They form a continuum

From the deepest of Africa

To pale Norway

From every continent

From every country

We have been so mixed

Identities will soon not be color based.

Nationalities tossed and stirred –

Forms of government hybridized.

         Independence of the individual

         Has been mired in group identities –

         Affirmative action benefitting one color

         At a cost to another color.

         Borrowers of student loans another group.

         Supreme Court says no –

         Not Constitutional via the 14th Amendment –

         Violation of the equal protection clause.

The individual again becomes primary. –

Groups now too contrived

Too political, too much money to ignore.

Go back to Congress and pass a law –

Not just an executive order

By the ingrained bureaucracy.

         But power seekers will not rest.

         They find another way to skin

         The ideological cat.

         Turning money and power to votes is

         Too enticing to avoid for some.

We wait in blind anticipation. –

Winter will bring cold weather

And more “emergency” rules from the principal.
