Homogeny
Homogeny
Our situations may be different--
farms, cities, alone, many
Our opinions may vary too--
content, despair, passivity, fear
But has humanity ever been so homogeneous in its actions?
Have we ever before all been doing the exact same thing?
Has every human ever been so united in purpose?
--No
It is an unprecedented alignment of activity.
We have never all been working towards a common goal.
We have never all been doing fundamentally the same thing.
It is a never-known rush when you realize everyone posting anything
online is in the exact same boat as you,
And the boat is our small Planet Earth,
Headed to an unknown destination;
But her crew has never before been so united.
In the midst of a storm, the body is at rest.
