I's To a We
"I's" to a "WE"
If our very existence
were merely a test,
I guess we would rank
as the worst of the best.
Excelling in all
of the sciences known,
while seeking division
from those of our own.
What is the point
of us being so smart
if we make it a weapon
that drives us apart?
How different
our civilization would be
if we traded in
all of the "I's" for a "WE"
With knowledge and purpose
to live as supreme,
in dominion of earth
and the sky and the sea.
Resourcefully seeking
to strengthen our force
to exist on this earth
for it's life giving source.
We've come to the point
of our technology,
where people throughout
the whole world should be free.
Existing in peace
without worry or threat
because life is deemed precious
and all needs are met.
If we could evolve
from the "I's" to a "WE",
from the struggle and strife
to how great life should be,
common in purpose,
united as one,
just think of the prizes
our race will have won.
