Disparity



Pressure mounts as it bubbles,
Simmering to a maximum point.
Light fixtures begin to wobble,
The oncoming rumble increasingly thunders on.

The colourful flag of the world.
Diversity in droves,
Black, White, Yellow;
They all bleed red.

The Black Apes from the African plains,
Aggressive and dominating.
Taking the throne for its own,
Born into enslavement before the day is gone.

The tanned Argali are cautious and nimble footed.
Mindful of the barren Gobi whilst on constant alert for predators.
Food is scarce, yet populations seemingly endless.
Counter-measures in place; life always finds a way.

The Great White shark; roaming bodies of coastal temperate waters,
Hierarchial dominance at the top of the food chain.
Spreads itself across the channels and links between continents,
A muted attempt in global takeover.

Summits come and go,
Planting seeds of one-a-many's labour.
When its time to return,
The aforementioned forgotten.

We all bleed red. Unless if you bleed something else, we're no different. 

Apple and PC,
Android and iOS,
Crackers, Chinks, and Coons.
Noodles, casseroles, and Cornbread.

The stereotypes are a skin. A barrier set up to distance over another offer petty and minute differences.

Are we really that different?

Erratic Behaviour
