Until

Us and Them
Them and Us
Good and Evil, until

You aren’t just them
I’m not just us

God’s Chosen, choosing
Who blends, who shows
Who stays, who goes

All God’s Children, except
The ones who aren’t

And those who know, accept, until
You don’t accept, but will
Until

Justice for the oppressed
By the oppressed
For the oppression, because
Online, in person, AI
So much easier, so much harder to
Read the room, when there isn’t a room except

Real-world consequences of online advances
From perceived slights and actual rights
Denied, defied, 

Hope denied, fear defied
Truth accepted, hope connected
