Who are We?
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
What identifies key characteristics
Which define us
Is it perhaps our physical
Way we do what we do
Do the dimensions
of our intentions
Demonstrate
what attractions
Drive
our interactions
How we celebrate
our independence
And how well we learn
From our mistakes
Or fail to
How well do we fit in
and/or stand out
Where
we earn respect
or suffer from
Pain
we inflict upon
One another
and when
it becomes regret
or falls into
Neglect
from our relative
inability
To learn when to trust
or not to
To love Be loved
In time to find truth
To do what
must be done
or fail miserably
time
after time.
Hopeful eventually
We will be primed
To become us
Me
and you
