I Am

I am one, I am many, I am all, I am few. Let me pause for a moment to explain that to you. I am one because an individual is me, but if I happen to be representing my entire specie then one might say that I am many. I am all that I am from what I experience and learn, but I am few as far as my government is concerned.

You give me smiles today, thank you Billy! I was setting out to have a dull and serious day, but "thekidster" has reminded me that things aren't so heavy. Blessing to you, Billy, love, Mikki :)

I think we're invisible to our government, Bill. Congratulations on your win in Paula's contest with this deep, introspective poem. I do believe you have presented your self-perception honestly. Merry Christmas, Carolyn
