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
