The Sum of Our Somes
The Sum of Our Somes
Some sit quietly and watch life pass them by,
While others decide to live it;
Some accept the quality of being,
While others decide to give it.
Some ask questions and wonder why,
Things are the way they are;
Some look past what is already known,
In pursuit of the farthest star.
Some like order; Some like chaos;
Some are prejudiced; Some lack bias;
Some step forward; Some step back;
Some retreat; Some attack.
Humanity is the sum of these somes,
That help the world spin round;
Letting each one pursue their own some,
Is the best way to live - I've found.
