By Design
They separate us by gender,
and segregate by race
They separate us by intellect,
and isolate by taste
They separate us by fortune,
and detach us by fame
They separate us by family,
nepotism to blame
They keep us divided
through life ever long
The poles ever widening
—too lost to belong
(Dreamsleep: January, 2021)
