Villanelle: Generalize and Prejudice Will Congeal
Villanelle: Generalize and prejudice will congeal
Generalize and prejudice will congeal
No prejudice justifies the call to arms
Exceptions crop up only for common weal
Know the next man's the best chance for a fair deal
The exception always battens down your qualms
Generalize and prejudice will congeal
Not to generalize makes neither big deal
The other man's prejudice will quash your balms
Exceptions crop up only for common weal
Many or all nurse their hatreds and conceal
Their dreams of pure race culture under sweet psalms
Generalize and prejudice will congeal
Genes that mutate miscegenate still reveal
Our Father who art in Africa's realms
Exceptions crop up for the common weal
The only prejudice worth a mighty peal
Who the damn stuffed genius brains in human forms
Generalize and prejudice will congeal
Exceptions crop up only for common weal
