We, I, us
For a period we were We,
- Publicité -
back in history
in a community;
it was a way
that held sway,
reciprocity and
mutuality assured.
It did not stay
thus, as over time;
We and I became
and it was a shame
in that while it rang
true for long,
interdependence
out of reliance
on pure self-interest
enlightened albeit,
has proved a hindrance
to wider togetherness.
And now in an acute crisis
it is down to all of us
to fight for resurgence.
