profound stuff - love your new haiku (there are so many debates on what is & isn't haiku, but this works for me)

At least that's how it should be...Good for posters, companies and sports teams...even couples...Nice...I like it

Well put Arturo, when I was captain of the soccer team that was our whole model, it worked because a team is always plural, there is no removing the self or individual --- but one can always remove themselves from the team, or company or relationship --- but far less so when the idea of 'we' becomes reality. Great points about posters, companies etc. A country concept as well, 'we the people' which is being weened out through political divisions and the glorification of 'me, me, me' in an attempt to divide us and subjugate us more easily. Scary. Hmm....
