Tolerance exercise

Should I hate you?

You are not like me.
You are not like us.
You don’t dress like us.
You don’t eat like us.
You don’t look like us.
You don’t talk like us.
You don’t love like us.
You don’t pray like us.
Could it be (à chilling thought) that
You don’t think like us?

And that is a real problem.
'Cause, if you don’t think like us
Then we don’t know what you really think!

You may think, that
We should dress like you,
We should eat like you,
We should look like you,
We should talk like you,
We should love like you,
We should pray like you.

And that is dangerous.

Then you are dangerous,
And we are gonna stone you to death,
You, who
Don't dress like us,
Don't eat like us,
Don't look like us,
Don't talk like us,
Don't love like us,
Don't pray like us,
And, certainly, don't think like us.

Then I will have to throw my stone,
Because I am part of us,
Since I dress like us,
Since I eat like us,
Since I look like us,
Since I talk like us,
Since I love like us,
Since I pray like us.
And we hate and stone to death
Those, who are not like us!

But what happens to me
If I am not part of us?
I will be an outcast.
Us will be them,
And they will stone me to death.

Then I will be you...
