We can't know them By their religion. Too much hypocrisy. We can't know them By politics.   It's ever-changing... or not. We can't know them By country. Zillions emigrate and immigrate. We can't know them By their clothes. Emperor or not. We can't know them By their words. Too many equivicators. We can't know them By their jobs. At home or away. We can't know them By their family. Nuclear or extended. We can't know them By their deeds. They say one thing, and do another. But look to  the roadside. In the ditches. By the curb. In the bins. Ye shall know them by their garbage.

Ye Shall Know Them
We can't know them By their religion. Too much hypocrisy. We can't know them By politics.   It's ever-changing... or not. We can't know them By country. Zillions emigrate and immigrate. We can't know them By their clothes. Emperor or not. We can't know them By their words. Too many equivicators. We can't know them By their jobs. At home or away. We can't know them By their family. Nuclear or extended. We can't know them By their deeds. They say one thing, and do another. But look to  the roadside. In the ditches. By the curb. In the bins. Ye shall know them by their garbage.
"Them" is us.
