Quatrain of Among Others

Among Others - this is how it's done

If all you ever knew was living
among your own ethnic
group, you would feel
an innate
tone,

If you were to ever meet someone
of another race, you would
retreat to a familiar
comfort
zone.

Living among someone different
would not come natural,
acceptance would
need to be
earned.

Your own kind is buried in your
brain, to be among contrasting
humans takes a great
effort; it must
be learned.
