-We-
by Keaton Foster



We
You
Me
Us
Them
Onward
Outward
Within
Without
Madness
Doubt
What’s this about
Life
Ours
Yours
Mine
Everything
And nothing
It hurts
It’s sad
How come
Why not
God above
Won’t tell
The devil below
Won’t show
In between
We
You
Me
Us
Remain
Doing our parts
Making mistakes
Hurting each other
Helping just one
And maybe another
The hypocrisy
Only bested by
Such debauchery
The right hand
Is always first
To slap the left
But the left
Increasingly made impotent
Will never strike back
We
Simple as can be
As easy as a read
As relatable as any dream
Upon a similar plane
Many of us stand
Looking down
Upon ourselves
Hurting who we are
By refusing our gifts
By not knowing
Why we are here
We
You
Me
Us
Are like lambs
Standing with lions
The slaughter
The killing
The moral break
Will soon begin
Further we will go
Much deeper
Our hearts will fall
Down so low
Far beyond
Once there
None of us
Not me
Not you
Not we
Nor us
Will ever again rise
Fates hand will be dealt
God’s cruel smile shown
There is still time
But how much
Is not known
Not disclosed
We must change
We
You and I
Us
Again
Must find a way…
