Notes About The Poem

THE FATE OF YOU, ME, BIGOTRY, AND DIVERSITY

               (Apropos Of How It Must End To Be)

        

        Because you are you, and I am me,

        You say, between us, there’ll never be unity;

        That between us…always oppressive diversity:-

For since God made you different from the likes of me,

In this same world in which we have come, 

We were never, ever, to become as one:-

Oh well, if this is to become truly so,

Be aware, it’s time for you to go!  

THE FATE OF YOU, ME, BIGOTRY, AND DIVERSITY

THE FATE OF YOU, ME, BIGOTRY, AND DIVERSITY
        (Apropos Of How It Must End To Be)

Because you are you, and I am me,
You say, between us, there’ll never be unity;
That between us…always oppressive diversity:-
For since God made you different from the likes of me,
In this same world in which we have come, 
We were never, ever, to become as one:-
Oh well, if this is to become truly so,
Be aware, it’s time for you to go!
