Different Worlds

 

Different worlds

Make all the difference

And it is the world

That makes the critical difference

Between you and I

And all the other people

More or less the same

We are except that we are shaped by our

We

dwell in worlds

So completely different

And it becomes a fatal error

To use the terms and reference points

From one world

And to superimpose them upon another

It is a destructive act of power
