we

we’re eating ourselves alive

we’re eating ourselves to death, aren’t we?

we being humanity, that is

we’re over-consuming consumption

we’re taking and taking and taking more

we the people, that is

we’re progressing without progress

we’re advancing without advancement

we have everything, yet we have nothing

we say we care

do we?

we say we’re free

are we?

we say we can do anything

can we?

who are we?

who were we?

who will be we?

we?

we have a lot of words

we don’t have a lot of actions

we put on a show

we don’t do and go

we take sides

but how can we be split?

when we is all of us?

if we is not all of us

then it isn’t we

then all of us aren’t we

how can that be?

for us and we

to exist separately

when we and we are together eternally?

we are controlled

we are led

we are exploited

we are tricked

we are grifted

we are destroyed

but we are all we

therefore; we control… we

therefore; we lead… we

therefore; we exploit… we

therefore; we trick… we

therefore; we grift… we

therefore; we destroy… we

how can we exist outside of we

when we is everybody?

those who aren’t we

cannot be

for all of us are we

we hurting we

we are hurt by we

individually?

but we are we

outside the we

we’re nobody

we cannot be

outside of we

must this be the way of we?

to self-mutilate eternally?

to destroy entirely?

death will come for you

death will come for me

but must death come to we?

by our own hand, must this be?

the fate of we?

assuredly?

there simply has to be

another way to be we

we against we

will only end, can only end with we

becoming nobody

when there’s nobody

left to be we

not you

not me

not anybody

left to be we

we, isn’t just humanity

all of life is we

the bird and the bee

the herd and the tree

are all part of we

the miracle of life is we

we are part of that miracle

we being the life that lives today

owes our existence to the lives of yesterday

the we of the present only came about because of the we of the past

the we of the future can only come about because of the we of the present

we are all we

stretching across eternity

we must learn to be

in harmony

with we

or we

will cease to be

there is another way to be

than what is told to we by we

and that is to be as we

in order to be we

we must be we

not they or them or me

not you or he or she

we must be we in order to be

or we will cease to be

what sadder fate could there be

than for we to not be we?

for if we cease to be

all that’s left will be nobody

if we keep on killing

we are killing we

if we keep on polluting

we are polluting we

if we keep on thieving

we are thieving we

if we keep on deceiving

we are deceiving we

then there will be no more we

no more we for eternity

a house divided against itself cannot stand

we shall cease to be

if we divide and conquer we

but we can be a better we

if we see what we do to we

and stop it

eternally

no more you

no more me

no more they, them, he, or she

but we

we! can do it

we can be we

if only we open our eyes to see

the we

we were meant to be
