the world is made of all of us


Each of us lives in our own little world

With dreams and sorrows that most

will never see

Or begin to grasp

beyond what we share in action

The universal predicament

each being confined to our own minds

must be contented with life being what we make of it

For the sake of it, none of us knowing about the other

The other knowing that nobody knows

Yet...

Even if I ignore you, we are still connected

In your dark sea of despair, I share the same ground as you.

We eat, we sleep, we breathe, we both need human connection

Society is the sum of us, all struggling together to remember

That the world is made of all of us, and through our sharing we are one.

Big smile!
                                                                      

Bubble gum was a big thing...
