Questions to a society that confuses me!

Like a maze, you're hard to get
Has anyone ever, your expectations met?
Social animals we are all, but who decides your rules?
Oh dear society, how do you so easily, turn us into fools?

Fair skinned people, find more love here
While the dark ones hide, in the shadow of your fear
How does an involuntary trait, overpower the beauty of a soul?
How do you forget, even diamonds come from coal?

You rate intelligence, through examinations and mark sheet
The smart ones are those, who somehow your standards meet
If street smartness and creativity were as unimportant as you make them to be
How did so many creative minds and school drop outs, make history?

The rich often have no trouble finding respect
It's the poor's need for it, that is often not met
How is it ok for a maid or a waiter to bear your insults?
Does the social ladder decide, a humans tolerance?
You take pride as you say, times are changing
But even today, a bride is expected to come with dowry and bling
If indeed, marriages are made in heaven
Why do women have to pay for a soulmate, and not the men?

Men who refuse to stay in their homeland, and fly away
Are deemed to be more succesful than the ones who stay
If foreign lands are the only way to find success
How come the ones here prosper nevertheless?

 Dear society, I could go on an on, but then I wonder
Several have screamed, has it made a difference ever?
Times change and sometimes you do too
But your hypocrisy always finds a way, to crawl back to you
You don't have to be perfect, but please keep your mind open
Because at the end of the day we are all the same! Hopeful, Struggling Humans!
