WE

"We" were people who evolved and took dominion over the world, that "we" live in today...

"We" feared the wild beasts, storm, fire, hunger and the thought of being alone!

"We" grew from one to two and a million more...

"We" worked together to liberate ourselves from our fears.

"We" remained bound to each other, to continue being powerful and in control...

"We" fostered cultivation; "We" endorsed industrial civilization and encouraged any kind of possibilities that contributed towards the ecstatic feeling of progress!

But Alas!

"We" neglected to reason that we evolved only because it was "We" who made it achievable and not just an "I".

And slowly we bend our heads to execute ourselves and crafted our own destruction...

"We" built barbed wires and divided ourselves... abandoning the joy of togetherness!

The fire that "We" dominated blistered us like a cigarette that burnt our gasp for life.

Starvation that "We" fought together to feed, became the fight of the less fortunate... There was a rich man and a poor man, and they could never be quantified as one no longer...

“I” was branded to a faith, and lost my conviction to being humane as “I” was too involved in saving a place for myself in heaven!

Being alone is what "I" choose, because it gives me the freedom of meeting my self-centric dogma… Family and friends are of no more relevance because my life is just my obligation!

It all culminated to where “I” stand today.

“I” stand alone…

“I” stand in anger with my neighbour…

“I” am starving in my own misery…

“I” am manipulated…

“I” fear I cannot go on…

“I” sense hatred around me…

“I” cling on, scared that I may fail to protect the last of my hope …

If only “I” would have stopped thinking, that “I” didn’t care for what “We” had before, and that “I” only cared for my tomorrow… It would have been a life worth living!

“I should have known, I was just a drop, but together we could have made an ocean”
