What Are We?

What are we to ourselves lingo sought scapegoats of our own identity lost within the trials of times temptations sought ~ to ne'er find struggle we assail our own belief and brashly condemn the world for having the same frailty! What are we ~ but children of contempt for ourselves, for the intrusion of someone else, who calmly professes our identity as if catching a foul ball in a park left insidiously clean by youth who gather there willingly before the world has brought their realness to themselves Who are We! but condemners of the wrath that we feel for ourselves, for the mistakes that led us to believe the world had no choice, but to condemn us . . . A child of virtue, when the world looked forward and wars were fought for a decent outcome, and not the perennial ideal of fighting for wars to happen, to prove we had strength, and justice! Who are we ~ now while we are aging, and the memories are the same as the ones of childhood, when we hurt ourselves wondering, if we were worth the time to dream . . and love! Who are We!!
