a class system flawed suppresses intelligence abilities
wastes brains intellect born in rare gift genius minds
societies civilizations lacking a piercing light eye brains
to perceive patron advance unique minds bias withers
eureka mind adapts finds perception crisis chaos solutions
to civilization conflict issues invents tools technologies
to enhance lifestyle lives with an avenue of opportunities
to increase prosperity security for all citizens prospers
civilizations will stasis stagnation in crisis adapt advance
or potentially fall solutions to all civilization problems
are found or empires civilizations elite suffer failures
will fall as power corruption greed unchecked flourishes
