An Individual Is A Community.

Who are we?

We say we are individuals,

Each one of us unique.

That may well be true

But what we must realise

Is the individual we are

Is a community of individuals.

We have been made by two people,

Our Mothers and Fathers.

And they too were each made

Each made by two people,

So there are six people as part of us.

And the further back we look

The more people are within us

Until we go back to the beginning,

The beginning of mankind,

Starting as a strain of atoms.

So it can be said

We all came from one reality,

And end up as ourselves,

But we are related,

Related to all.

So as we are each a community,

A community of individuals,

Why are we arguing,

Arguing and fighting with our relations.

With our many voices

Inside the one individual.

An individual is a community of individuals,

The many voices inside the one.
