Segregation

 We were happy, in limited resources, 

then what changed, creating differences,

was it sign of our growing affluence, 

or symptoms, of unsolved grievances? 

Segregation... 

It's something that separates,

bringing divides, among associates,

sowing seeds of pride and envy,

inciting us to pursue higher place. 

Together in rewards and punishments, 

build companionship, difficult to break,

yet, advent of corruption, had its effects, 

rise of undeserving, brewing discontent. 

So, it becomes a constant chain,

of acquisitions & flaunting riches, 

harboring detest & disdain of ordinary,

while engaging, in games of pretence. 

So, don't blame, this blind chase,

when society, pursue the same,

devaluing principles, for a facade, 

losing integrity, in the process.
