we

[skonen_blades]

And the rhetoric spreads like a plague
The language of the other
‘They’ can’t be trusted
‘They’ are savages
We must protect ourselves from ‘them’
So we unify
but
We only unify when threatened
We only unify with our own kind
Seeing past the differences of people within our
Tax bracket
Racial definition
Geographical location
We
As a race
Have always been on emergency measures
Humans feel scarcity even when there is none
Humans feel fear even when there is nothing to fear
We climb in fear
We are alone
And that is what is preyed on
That is what is used
That is what works
To sell
music
toothpaste
clothes
and to recruit Nazis
Are you afraid?
Yes is always the answer.
Are you alone?
Yes is always the answer.
"I can’t make you feel NO fear or NO loneliness,"
the advertisement
the recruiter says
the politician says
"But I can make you feel LESS fear and LESS loneliness."
And who wouldn’t say yes to that?
We can’t unite
Until we acknowledge
The elasticity of the word

We

We

We does not have to mean a few people
We does not have to mean a million people
We needs to mean everyone
We need to unite
