we as a people

should we as a people acknowledge the mistakes that we make....we make those as to learn from them, but now my feeling has changed....we as a people don't learn from anything, still making the same mistakes, life is repeating....things seen were seen once before, will be seen once again, life's repeating....things come and things go and people come and people go, life's cycle of repeating.....same song, my verse repeats and we as a people go with the flow, let my flow be original, let my flow have a start but not a finish.....let me as a person keeping my flow moving, let my flow speak of me as a movement and we the people sit back and acknowledge my force as a force....let my force show the individual that i am.....we as a people should take notice of the goals and ambitions of one.....let me stand and take notice as i did one time before.....my cycle of repeat is rotating and i must rotate with.....please think along with me, write along with me, cry along with me, breathe along with me, must we as a people be divided or shall we unite and be as one people, one person, one voice, one cry.....i don't wanna stand alone so let us stand together.....there is no "i" in we.....thank you.....

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
