CASTE: The Origins of Our Discontents is superb; 

author Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize, luminary.

Righteous echoes of Douglas, Baldwin, King rise up; 

representing humankind’s evolution mirror library. 

Nigh Octogenarian urges universal kith/kin to read; 

will manifest illumination on contemporary times. 

Self, family, community, country insights will manifest; 

education, intuitive, wisdom truths able to explain crimes. 

It is brilliant in historical humanitarian scope; 

multi discipline scholarships encompassed.

Yet narrative in story-telling beckons reader; 

evokes empathy/compassion/desire for justice. 

You will not be the same while reading tome; 

 heart will ache, mind will gestalt, soul wrench. 

Activism stirred - determination set on fire: 

I pray it inspires thirst that will never quench. #
