Hi Duke,
a few comments on this philosophical poem--mostly want you to consider some new line breaks. Comments below:
I like the voice and conversational tone of this I'm just wanting a few different end words.

People like to live among
others who are like themselves:
it’s a fact of human nature,
for security we need--possibly end on "this"
this to know what’s happening.
But we’re told diversity—
living deep-embedded with--don't like the break on with. I'd rather see it on "people"
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--I understand why you break on elite. It works. I could also see breaking on "diversity" though that would likely mean a slight restructuring of the next line.
diversity our betters rattle,--If you did make the change you could pull up "must we live".
must we live as hated strangers
in their strange land or enjoy ---Like the Heinlein reference
if we can - the life of tourists?
