The Tribal Leader’s Warning
Don’t leave our tribe.
You’ll ruin your life.
You’ll get out there and meet people
Who aren’t like us.
They’ll put different ideas into your head.
They’ll have you doing strange things
That will feel weird,
But you’ll get used to it
And believe it’s normal.
They are not our ways.
You’ll be poisoned.
And when you come back,
If you come back,
You won’t be accepted here.
You’ll be an outcast.
Not because of us, but because of you.
You won’t be understood.
Our people will not understand
How you can accept others
As our equals.
