a community imposes the centrality of the ‘we’!
what is it to be in a group, in a family?
when we say ‘we’ to the world’s community
we express that we value the interests of the majority
the uniting of “I” with the “we” excludes the selfish ‘me’
but what does it really mean, the “we”?
it is a word which removes selfishness and ethnocentricity
and goes beyond our person, space and biological family
it is to extend our hand in friendship, love and charity
to join together on others terms, understanding and reflect on their reality
it is a knowledge that is key to becoming a true culturati
in celebrating the differences and recognising the subtleties
one who gives unrestrained love, affection and attention
to invite the world to its social interactions
for now we are all part of one big human family,
to live together in a single global community
as for those who insist on their perverse goal of supremacy
recognise not the self with all its declaration of diversity
that demands attention to every part, the nook-and-cranny, for self-harmony
so how can we destroy and enslave the ‘we’ of our single body, the extended family
how can we refuse a place at the dinner table and make vulnerable, a party
we claim diversity, but we readily close the door to exclude femininity
in a room without windows, without communication, without even a view of beauty
if we continue to tread this path of suicide, with a selfish stride
to breakdown and isolate everyone within our sight
to impose on the ‘we’ a single view of the ‘i’
thus, we announce to the world our foolish, misguided pride
that leads to nothing but our eventual death and demise
just because you are a loud minority, within our inclusive family
why do you demand, we cannot do this, just because you perceive this to be
don’t shut down our freedom to experience, the heart that guides freely
we have a right to exchange ideas, thoughts and emotions
to open the doors to exciting new possibilities
but, if we stumble on the way of our self-discovery,
recognise this, that this is God’s plan of our frailty
for no one is perfect and we never once claimed to be,
just like Adam who ate of the tree
and thus, don’t impose on us your misguided reality
your values, your believes and your views of morality
your arguments are flawed and in many cases shine of hypocrisy
for your infatuation with sexuality, to us is just insanity
we know humans are created with deep qualities,
for we echo God’s attributes within the whole of humanity
we embrace the tenth of love, that descends from on high
to enable us to admire the beauty that twinkles in the worlds eye
finally, remember, that our sanity is tied together within a healthy community
a diversity that reflects God’s plan for humanity
for His Will is ‘be’ and it is; that is our right to be free
it is the only choice that makes sense
-a global community that unravels the physical world, despite its overwhelming frailties
and thus, we hold hands as part of a single world community
inviting all to live, equally together, in one big extended family
