A Tolerant Society

A tolerant society we've heard it all before That fellow he is different he is from a distant shore He never will be my friend so him i will ignore I will only tolerate him just that and nothing more. A tolerant society those words often used of late By the leaders of the Government in a so called egalatarian State Yet his birthday or successes we will never celebrate We will only tolerate him he will never be our mate. A tolerant society words best used to describe That we will put up with others but we'll stick by our own tribe Them we shall not acknowledge or to them say hello And about them and their culture we do not wish to know. In a tolerant society we only tolerate And closer ties or friendships with them we do not wish to cultivate He is from a different culture and our differences are great And we only tolerate him he will never be our mate.
