Pronouns

How do we say “we” across the ages,
we jigsaw-pieces of a human fate?
As this man hoards, that one starves or rages.
How do we say “we” across the ages
of a history stumbling through its stages?
Here we are at eternity’s sheer gate,
trying to say “we” across the ages – 
we jigsaw-pieces of a human fate.
