i
you
us
them
those people
wouldn't it be lovely
if one could
live
in a constant state
of we ?
some of the most
commonplace
words
can be some of the biggest
dividers
they
what if there was
no they ?
what if there was only
us?
if words could be seen
as they float out
of our mouths
would we feel no
shame
as they passed beyond
our lips ?
if we were to string
our words
on a communal clothesline
would we feel proud
as our thoughts
flapped in the
breeze ?
I found this delightful poem in a book by Patti Digh titled
Life is a Verb. It is very thought-provoking, yes?
Yes, I like this sentiment.
