The gated communities of one mind each

The world worships
the great lie
- that sameness
must be absolute
for all things good
- friendship, love,
belonging. 

The world's worshippers
of that great lie,
terrified of uniqueness,
of tiny eccentricities,
of their personal truths,
live a lie
- a fraud of heart and mind and soul
to create the
seemingness of sameness ...
in gated communities
flooded with terror - most absolute -
of variance;
each of those in turn filled
with gated communities
each of one timid, quaking, cowardly mind;
each dedicated to denying divergence.
