Poem Title:
Poem
People crave to belong We all want to pull together We hope to get along We wish to live in harmony with each other Ideally it would be great if we all got along In the real world this is but pure hypocracy We cuss and fight incessantly We never treat another like a brother Hatred is not new We only have a rehashed caustic brew Of umbrage and petty slights That cause problems that won’t go out of sight The world is thus in a great plight It’s all about acceptance In this day and age of turmoil Upheaval And terrorism Everyone wants to belong Belonging is a natural state Where we can achieve a purpose in life An individual is naught but One part of a greater whole He can only achieve his best When he is bolstered by another To live in a world Where you look in Rather than participate Is to be an outsider A loner A leper This is not a life Most would consider Stratifications abound In every aspect of society Alignment of every criterion holds sway We naturally have a gravitational attraction To another of similar ilk For none of us wish’s to stand alone Truly no man is an island We cannot exist without interaction of any kind We must participate Working together For advancement of ourselves And of society Enmity has culminated in Great wars been fought Over who can belong The aim is to triumph natural selection A waste of communal talent Cliques are our shelters In a world that does not always Meet our needs A homogenous environment of people Creating a physical and mental ghetto Sowing the roots of genocide And other inhuman actions We cannot all be the same Individuality is good Let us live together Accept each other Advance as one
