Poem
Community, what does it mean And how does it come into being Well what does the dictionary have to say “A group of people living together in one place” I guess that means were all in community Though if I were to speak in honesty It feels like we try to live separately Living by the culture of our country Which tells us, do it yourself If your strong, you don’t ask for help Life is about personal advancement About money and accomplishments Hold onto your hardships and pain Keep striving for personal gain So many lies deeply engrained How will we create change? Well I start with myself I ask for help I start with me I be the change I want to see I become an infectious contagion In all of my relations That could spread across a population Even across the nations I model my life after the master of love Who dwells in the heavens above He has brought millions even billions together Over decades, centuries, even millenniums So what else could be better Than to faithfully follow him He who said, I was anointed to proclaim good news to the poor to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free” and I say yeah that’s who I want to be But unless I engage in community Unless I get to know my fellow human beings How can I help to set them free So its time for me to put aside Popular culture, foolish pride Social codes, selfish ambitions Old roads, and useless traditions And blaze a brand new trail With my life, write a new tale Introduce a new theme Add in a few more characters And then dare to dream About how my story could impact theirs And their’s impact mine Because maybe just, maybe It might be better, might just be Not to say, I did it on my own All this, look I did it alone No maybe it would be better If we did it together So that no matter what my lot I can always know that I’ve got Friends, right until the very end Help, ready to be sent Hands willing to be lent So what need would I have for advancement For money and accomplishment I can find all that I need Everything I seek from this life, In relationship with fellow human beings Community, Maybe this is what it means
