Struggling against tribalism often seems like a lost cause, but aren't lost causes sometimes our best hope to overcome.

————

It all begins when someone wins

When some idea or doctrine signals

Lie or Truth as befits a conqueror,

Yet intrinsically neither noble nor right

Except that We or They won

And, therefore, They or We lost

What a terrible way to be known

Or learn or lead or follow…

Maybe that’s why lost causes

Are so beguiling

Especially those that ring of

Something more than power

That ring of something

Sweet or good
