EXCLUSION ENACTED

This hair, this skin, these bones,
it takes more than a few life times to change them.

Exclusion begets fraternity
begets exclusion begets
isolation begets
solitude.

Exclusion begets solitude
begets resignation begets
forgetting begets
assimilation.

Exclusion begets determination
begets ambition begets
integration begets
domination.

Exclusion begets poverty
begets resilience begets
ingenuity begets
wealth.

Exclusion begets resistance
begets remembrance begets
retention begets
exclusion.
