Racism, classism, ageism, feminism
all the isms are their own forms of prison
Divisions are promoted by classifications
deemed necessary to keep hate pulsating
through various nations true diversity
does not breed adversity
acceptance of one another is really the key
many are manipulated to prevent unity from happening
yet you refuse to see through their cultural history
that they constantly impose on you and me
clearly shows their thirst for dominancy
claiming to explore distant shores that were existent before
disrespecting the lands claiming all that they can
exploiting those locally,
while claiming it will help globally
further spreading division to all
that adhere to their decisions
never understanding the law of reciprocity
they will utilize their own economic philosophy
proclaiming it’s for democracy
one day they will realize
that the pendulum swings both ways
that’s why they are desperately clinging to the old days
amazed you will be when you realize
they are no longer the real majority
all you have to do is combine all the so called minorities
in every category
a tactic that sounds drastic
but they know it could be catastrophic
locations are a matter of semantics
yet we live in a prison of isms
created by a system insistent on division
of every kind except humanism.

About the Author
Veronica Thornton a.k.a. Vee was always gifted with the art of verbal and written communication although she was never a big talker yet quite the observer and listener.
Vee currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio is a survivor of domestic violence and mother of two. In her youth she wrote notes to herself and others when she could not verbalize what she was feeling. Many thought her writings to be poetic and inspiring in nature. Her empathetic feelings caused her to keep writing later in life as a way to release all the emotions and questions that were presented to her that otherwise remained nonverbal. While most of her writings remained private it was during her educational pursuits Vee was strongly encouraged to pursue a writing career due to her versatility in topics, styles and ability to articulate her thoughts in a clear, creative yet relatable manner.
