elitism
nationalistic
pride
________________
inferior
superior
war luxury:lifestyle
amidst, idling and scorn
conceal and whisper
that language is a weapon
against each other
stereotypes are defenses
weaknesses gather personality
cowardice smile turn away into conceal acceptance
of their crutch identity
that find rest
in nationality
rooted vex
skin color
better if we saw in monochromatic
purple
in 2nd gear
dig root evolutionary
retribution to a blind age
still we find ourselves wearing badges of state
static transceiver misfire

I really like this because it speaks so true I wanted to pick out my favourite part but alas I fear that the entire poem is wonderful! Best wishes in the contest!
