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
