By Design

January 30, 2021

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)
