Future Diverse


People like to live among
others who are like themselves:
it’s a fact of human nature,
for security we need this
just to know what’s happening.
But we’re told diversity—
living deep-embedded, mixed
with people quite unlike ourselves—
forms our proper destiny.
Can that be, when our new neighbors
also want to live with only
others like themselves, for they
too are human, with that nature?
In this vision of elite
diversity our betters rattle,
must we live as hated strangers
in their strange land or enjoy -
if we can - the life of tourists?
