“You know how they are” she said.
And looked me in the eyes.
I don’t think I do.
And neither do you.
In fact it’s otherwise.
Don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” me.
I’m not you and you sure ain’t me.
But don’t “other” me.
He just laughs and walks away.
As her hungry baby cries.
I just can’t believe.
Any man could leave.
This must be otherwise.
Don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” me.
I’m not you and you sure ain’t me.
But don’t “other” me.
If you need to be other.
You need to see brother.
We all love mother.
So don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” you.
I got nothing more than you.
To start fighting fear and lies.
All birds with feathers.
Can fly together.
We can all live otherwise.
Don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” me.
I’m not you and you sure ain’t me.
But don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” me.
Me and you we got eyes to see.
So don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” me.
Don’t “other” you.
Don’t “other” she.
Don’t “other” he.
Don’t “other” we.
Let’s all be other-wise.
——
Blessed…
